Low Gfr- Is This From Celiac?

Hi folks,

My initial bloodwork shows my "GFR" to be very low (I just now figured out how to tell it was even low:)-- is this likely due to the Celiac? Should I be concerned? My GI doc never pointed it out or mentioned it.

Thanks!

GFR?

Sorry, I could've spelled it out:) ...

"GFR - glomerular filtration rate is the best test to measure your level of kidney function and determine your stage of kidney disease..."

Everywhere I read, it says low GFR indicates renal failure, but I'm inclined to not believe everything I "Google"...

It is not unheard of for folks to have some kidney impact especially if they went undiagnosed for a long time. My kidney function has improved greatly but it did take a few months to heal and a good strong glutening will still effect them. I don't know how long you have been gluten-free but that is something that your doctor will most likely want to keep an eye on. Hopefully the longer you are gluten-free the better the test will be but no promises.

This is interesting-

My creatinine levels were a little high and once i went off gluten they went back down- not sure if there was a connection

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
