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.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
