Could It Be Celiac Making Me Sick For 2 1/2 Years?

I have been sick for 2 1/2 years, I have been to many doctors (internist, endocrinologist, infectious disease), I have had many tests including a bone marrow biopsy, MRI of brain, and lots of blood work. The only things I learned from all of this is that my WBC is slightly elevated but not every time tested and that I am anemic. I have lost 25 lbs (now 120 and 5'5"). My problems all started in Jan. 07 when I fell on ice and smacked my face HARD. I am constantly fatigued, unrestful sleep, anxiety, depression, muscle aches, mental fog, poor memory, weekness, and for 26 of the last 30 mo. I have ran a low grade temp (up to 100.5) which seems to be brought on by extra stress?? When I play with my family or help with our garden it takes me 2-3 days to recover from it. Does any of this sound like Celiac?? I am grasping at straws to get my life back.

Just about all of it sounds like celiac disease. I hadn't heard of anyone having a constant fever, but no doubt somebody will post shortly saying that they've had that, too. You could see a gastroenterologist, or just try the gluten free diet and see if it makes a difference. Welcome and good luck to you.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
