Ugh So Bummed...

Saying I am bummed may sound strange but if I had celiacs it would mean I could easily treat and reverse damage that has been done. Now i'm back to square one. I guess since I tested very high for a milk allergy, and moderate for a gluten allergy I should still cut that from my diet. What are your opinions.

These are the results if anyone is interested

Endomysial antibody IgA - negative

T-transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 1 0-3 negative 4-10 weak positive >10 positive

immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 125 range 70-400

I'm so bummed, i just wanted an answer. I've had heartburn for the past 5 days now. Even getting it from just eating cereal.

Just one question how did you test very high for milk allergy and moderate for gluten allergy?

Your celiac panel seems negative....but as we know many of us test negative....

I would go gluten free and dairy free and see what happens. The truest 'test' is the diet followed strictly.

I agree ....sounds like good advice....Go gluten free and see what happens....

Your tests look incomplete to me. I don't see a total IGA there at all. So I would agree with the above advice. Go gluten-free now and your progress will be your answer. Remember testing isn't all it's cracked up to be for celiac disease at this time. Some folks who test like you do slip between the cracks when they really are sick. The only way to know is to eat gluten-free!!

they did a complete allergy blood test.

My milk antibodies had no number just >99.99 and anything over 80 is antibodies. I don't have immediate reactions though, just rashes that show up. I'm wondering if its an IgG allergy. Gluten tested for a class 3 allergy along with peanuts and garlic.

The biggest problem will be affording gluten free food to try this.

Sure processed gluten-free food is expensive, but it's best to go natural when transitioning to gluten-free. Many foods are naturally gluten-free- fruits, veg, nuts, lean protein. Most gluten-free breads and sweets are higher calorie/fat than their glutenous counterparts. It doesnt have to cost you an arm and a leg, and you might feel lots better. Give it a shot :D

I noticed that you didn't mention any anti-gliadin antibodies, either IgG or IgA.

Anti-Gliadin IgG is considered a sensitive indicator, but it is also not considered very specific. Meaning it potentially could be positive in the absence of celiac disease.

In my humble opinion, that is because A) the accepted diagnostic criteria for celiacs is antibodies present + positive biopsies and B) because the concept of Non Celiac gluten intolerance as its own disease entity isn't well recognized.

If you read this board long enough you will find folks whose only positive test is an antigliadin antibody, but who respond positively to the diet.

Give a dairy free, gluten free diet a go, and see what happens.

Yea I don't know why only 3 things were tested for celiacs. I might order the take at home test.. I think its called biochard? Guess all my eating habits are about to change. Ohh this is going to be hard! haha but i am looking forward to it.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
