Hello,

I am a 31 year old women. I went to see my doctor due to a vast array of symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, obesity with Inability to lose weight, Diarrhea, upset stomach, odd sensations in my hands and feet, severe migraine's with stroke symptoms, feeling worse when I exercise, bad memory, depression, anxiety, the list goes on. Really I have a complete feeling of being unwell. My doctor ran a huge set of blood and urine tests on me. The labs show that I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency, a 14, My doctor said that should be at least 50. Also, My liver results came back high. My doctor has scheduled me for a liver ultrasound. All thyroid tests came back as normal. My tissue transglutaminase came back at 12. From what I have found searching around the internet, it seems that anything over a 9 is a high positive for celiac disease. I am still waiting to hear back from my doctor. I am hoping for some insight on what all of this means. Any information or advise will be very appreciated.

There should be a scale associated with your TTG numbers. Different labs use different ranges, so the numbers in and of themselves are impossible to evaluate without the range.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
