Swollen Ankles And Feet

Well, it could be that your system is just generally out of whack, digestion wise. In celiac your intestines can get damaged and be inflamed / irritated on an almost constant basis. So, foods that wouldn't bother you from having gluten in them may still cause a reaction due to the already existing inflamation and sensitivity in your gut. It's like rubbing a sore or a burn on your skin, it hurts. Also, some people seem to have problems with potatoes. If you have celiac there is a good chance your system will need some time to recover and settle down after going gluten-free.

I Have a Dr. appt Monday, I have alot of questions for her. (family Dr.) My GI Dr. doesn't wanna see me till late September. Hopefully I will have the test results to post on this forum.

Dr. is baffled. Some of my symptoms have subsided somewhat, nausea is still sticking around. She thinks it is my nerves. so I am now on nerve medicine and probiotics which helps with absorbing nutrients this sort of puts bacteria back into the stomach. Essentual enzymes was also on the list of things to purchase, this is to help my stomach break down the foods.

I will give it a try. Im up for anything to make feel normal. I lost another 9lbs in two weeks. My total weight loss is 43lbs since May. I get so hungry all the time I wake-up hungry in the middle of the night. But I also get queazy.

thanks for reading.

Did she run any further tests? Urine test at least to check for protein? Edema is often a sign of kidney problems and I hope she took it seriously.

Swollen feet could also be a sign of heart disease. If your heart isn't pumping well you tend to get blood pooling in the feet and legs. Also think you need to push your doctor to figure this out.

oh gosh she did so many tests

glucose

hypo-hyperglycemia

addisons disease

h-pylora

urine

stool

sprue

lime disease

I do feel comfortable about the test she ran. I know some cheese has gluten. I love blue cheese but kills my stomach. How about goat cheese. Have you ever eaten millet.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
