Back On Gluten Major Health Issues -dr. Not Concerned

Within two weeks of going back on gluten, my liver enzymes were dangerously high, but have quieted to just above normal. I have a kidney/bladder infection, now being treated with Macrobid 100mgs. My stomach is bloated, and I rotate from being totally constipated, to diarrhea showing up from now where.

My celiac blood work supposedly all came back negative. My Gastro, said that was not uncommon. She was more interested how it brought my liver enzymes under control, cholesterol, and other blood work undercontrol.

I tried to get into see my family doctor about my liver enzymes rising into dangerous range and he chose to go on holidays without seeing me. I went to urgent care here and they did do another set of blood work which showed the reading still high but not dangerously high.

I am so tired, jaw pain, back pain, and side pain, a constant problem. Still constipated most of time, with little diarrhea,, and GERDs severe most the time.

This was all controlled before going back on gluten.

What does everyone think.

Hugs

I think I wouldnt need a biopsy for proof that gluten was bad for me. :blink:

If it is debilitating you to the point where you cant perorm daily activities, I would just stay gluten-free and cancel the biopsy, you know whats best for you. If you think you can stick it out (depending on how bad you want the biopsy and official diagnosis) I would say go through with it....but there is always the risk of a negative. I will be in youir shoes soon since I am going to a G.I doc for the first time. I know how frustrating this is, knowing that gluten makes you sick, but yet everyone around you seems not to be believing and supportive unless it is confirmed by a doctor...at least this is what I am going through. I'm tempted to go back on gluten and get tested out of anger, but then that isnt healthy either :blink: It would almost be like slitting my wrists...

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works...

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Thank you so much for the advice, Scott. I am going back to the doctors next week to get more blood work done. The only thing they recommended me to take so far has been two shots of liquid iron in the morning to keep my iron levels high. What supplements or vitamins have worked for you? I never physically feel my celiac symptoms, unless I got cross contamination which I feel has only happened a handful of times in the last four years. When I eat it feels so different than my celiac. Which makes me wonder if it is another food like you suggested. Has anyone ever had issues with meat? I feel like I can snack and snack until it is a full meal, usually including meat. Could that be an allergy or...
