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.

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
