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 for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
