Ok... I went to my doctor and had a blood test 2 weeks ago. and Then he talked with me adn told me I have Celiac. I have never had symptoms (like most of you I guess) or so I thought.

Here is the scoop:

Recently Diagnosed with Diabets

I have very bad Anemia

I have really bad pains in my knees and hip

I dont have the runs but I have on off constipation

My mom is alergic to all foods basically (they think she may have Celiac, she is being tested too)

Lots of dizzyness

Cold hands and feet/ tingling hands and feet

I have been gluten free now for a week and am having some bad stomach pain...

I don't know if thease are symptoms of or results of Celiac, apparently some tests were inconclusive and my final results will be in thursday. My doctor thinks I have celiac and he is 90% sure. So lets see if any of you can predict what my results will be. I unfortinently think I have it. I thought I already did, I dunno this test confused me. But yah lets wait till thursday. Any1 feel free to post here. Ill post my results on thursday.

My son has had constipation problems. After my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac, my son was tested and it came back negative. He was eating gluten free and guess what? Constipation is only a severe problem for him if he eats gluten. If he doesn't have Celiac or an intolerence to gluten, how come a diet with less fiber in it makes his b.m. more normal? Needless to say he is on a gluten free diet. No test has explained why a gluten free diet makes such a drastic difference

for him, but it does.

Other things to consider...

his fingernails are growing, look less pitted and grooved

his hardening of the hair follicles on his arms and thighs is fading (looks like hard little pimples)

his stool looks like a normal color instead of pale taupe

his tempermaent is better

his belly is not distended or bloated

less gas

less complaints about stomach aches

I had no clue hair pholical hardening was a symptom. I never told any1 I thought they would think I am a hypocondriact... but sometimes when I move my hair it HUTS. I could never explain it.... and my bow movments are a greenish pigment. and ever since I have been gluten-free I have had a movement once a day.

I keep hearing about loose stools but for me it was always constipation with bleeding.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Thanks for bringing this up again.    That week my doctor sent me for a Carotid Artery scan that came back 90% blockage on both sides.  Short story I had a stent put in right carotid artery. Just now getting back to normal from the Anesthesia. Surgery healed well, but it took until the next day to wake up from the anesthesia. A combination of time and B6.  Anesthesia depletes B6, slowing digestion and peristalsis and is also responsible for my freezing cold toes. These are my symptoms.  As a kid I had weak legs.  But now, 10 minute walk and I can barely move my legs.  I blamed it on the sedentary lifesyle from the general pain, and atrophy was to be expected. And with predisone for the pain and Gluten free I expected recovery. With the carotid artery blockage it got me to thinking it is blockage in the Ileac or Celiac arteries.  I might pursue that but the diet is the answer. I would rather not do more surgery if avoidable. Most important.  Every symptom on this list can be the result of a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Particularly B1 and B6, Iodine and choline and vitamin D. Celiac Disease is a disease of malnutrition by malabsorption or even dietary choices.  In the US the commercial bakeries stopped using iodine as a dough conditioner.  From 1970 to 1984 the average american intake of iodine went down 50%. CoQ10 may be beneficial.  It is given to people taking statins to negate the muscle myopathy caused by statins.

      I agree, low carb/no carb is the best way to go.   I follow the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a ketogenic Paleo diet, for my diabetes and celiac disease.  I keep carbs low.  The AIP diet helps immensely to keep my blood glucose levels in range.  I supplement with Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, because the pancreas uses lots of thiamine to make insulin and digestive enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can precipitate diabetes.   Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates into energy.  In an effort to ration thiamine if there's insufficient thiamine, the body turns excess carbohydrates into fat and stores it, hense the rise in obesity.  (Our bodies are naturally more efficient at burning fat for fuel.)  Highly processed foods do not contain sufficient vitamins and minerals needed for the body to process them into energy and enzymes necessary for the body to function and grow properly.  This is called High Calorie Malnutrition by Dr. Chandler Marrs and Dr. Derrek Lonsdale (Hiding In Plain Site:Modern Thiamine Deficiency).  Dr. Lonsdale has studied thiamine in children and adults with diabetes and other diseases for decades.  Their website "hormones matter" is very informative.

      Might want to see a rheumatologist also, as if this is an autoimmune disease they might be better equipped to to handle and treat. I was finally diagnosed after a biopsy on one of my quads. Condition known as IBM or inclusion body myositis . Good luck  Good luck

      Wends is correct in that for generations the food pyramid chart we were given with carbs at the base is incorrect. The average person gets far too many of their calories from carbs and coincidentally, more calories than they need for good health since carbohydrate rich foods are also calory rich foods. The body can learn to convert protein and fat into energy more efficiently when carbs are withheld. This is the basis of the ketogenic diet and why it works so well. I am not sure I would go full keto for a developing child however. Carbs are not evil. The problem isn't carbs per se but too many carbs.
