Hi,.. I'm new to this forum and havea few questions... I'm 21 years old and for the past 6-7 Months I started feeling very odd.. well actually how I noticed this all was when I started trying to lose weight.. I wanted to be fit.. I'm currently 6'1'' 190 pounds.. and I was originaly 225 pounds.. I started working out ... jogging.. eating healthier.. (Cutting beer out to a minimum of 1-2 a week oppossed to having a couple almost every day and partying and drinking a crap load of beer on the weekends) I also started eating alot of whole wheat bread and cereal instead of white... ate quite abit of pasta aswell especially before I would play Hockey.. I started getting concerned once i was losing quite abit of weight.. It was never this easy in the past for me to do this.. I seemed to just be shedding weight left and right.. to date I would say I've lost about 30-35 pounds in a 6-7 month time frame.. anyway to keep things short.. here's the symptoms ive experianced..

Rash- Mainly on my scalp and chest.. Inner thighs back.. arms and butt (The rah on my scalp I thought was just pimples or something.. i would kinda scratch at the mand they would be liquidy.. my hairdresser even mentioned they looked like an allergic reaction... the ones on my butt were the same.. and the ones on my inner thighs and arms were more of a itchy red rash which i thought was just caused by sweating and being irritated.

Depression and Nervousness- My grandma was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and my mom was very sick for awhile <-- Could be caused from that

Edgy- I've been edgy and very snappy for no apparent reason when people say things or ask me something..

Constipation- I've experianced consipation a few time in the past 6 or so months

Diarhea- Same thing as constipation

Fatigue- I've experianced some fatigue.. but the same could be said about feeling energetic.. Since i've lost this weight I do feel alot more energetic.. but from time to time i get random bouts of Fatigue

Palpitations- Ectopic heartbeats and the feeling of my heart pumping

Dizziness- Pretty says it

Fuzzy thoughts

I would say get tested. You have more symptoms than I ever did. Mine were limited to stomach problems mainly.

bloating

diahrrea

constipation

fatigue

naseu

loss of appetite

pain in my stomach

even the fuzzy thoughts

and the rash is probably dh (look up dh and celiac disease and find pictures, see if there are similarities) but I have never experienced that. I also found that even when I touch bread a lot (like working in a bakery) I would be sick the next day. I recommend at least the blood test because you have nothing to lose in doing that.

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
