Question About Celiac

I have a question here. Is it possible for some days to feel just fine and then other days to feel horrible? Some days I feel awful, but other days I feel just fine. I am not sure if I have celiac yet, but I did go to the Doctors and got blood work done and am having an endoscopy in 2 weeks. I do pretty much have all the symptoms. In a way I hope I have it, so I can finally figure out what is wrong with me. I have been dealing with this way to long. Thanks.

I really can not answer you question but you are not alone! I have had the blood test and the endoscopy, my blood test came back with only 1 antibody positive and the biopsy came back negative. My dr said the I do not have celiac. But like you I too have many of the symptoms, I think that either I am gluten intolerant or I am just now devloping celiac. I have for many years had trouble with my stomach on and off, I would have a few months when I would have problems then they would go away for a few months. Now it seems that everytime I eat now I get bloated and just feel bad, but that did not start until after I went to the dr to try to find out what was going on with me. So I think that I am just going to start the gluten free diet and see how it goes. I too was hoping that the test would come back positive so atleast then I would know what it was and what to do about it. Sorry I can not answer your question but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and it was good for me to see your post so I now know that I am not alone either! I hope they can find what is wrong with you so you can start feeling better.

unfortunately, plain ol' gluten intolerance doesn't show up on a blood test. But that doesn't mean that you couldn't benefit from a gluten free diet anyway. Celiac disease is the advanced stage of gluten intolerance, and by the time you actually test positive for Celiac disease, the damage is done. Some damage is potentially irreversible. So my advice would be, even if you have a negative test result, just try going gluten free for a few weeks. If you feel better, it is likely you have gluten intolerance, and the only way to avoid Celiac disease is to not consume gluten.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
