Question Regarding Result Of Vit D Test

First of all I have read many posts for about a month and I have to say you all are amazing! Going gluten free is not easy and I admire all your efforts!

With that said I had spent 30 min. this morning typing up a long list of my symptoms and about my month and a half going back and forth with going gluten, dairy and soy free. I was going to ask what you all thought and then realized something after writing my very long description. Gluten is making me sick for sure. I feel 80% better with out it so I deleted my long letter with a smile on my face. And I have to thank this site for this conclusion!

So now I will focus on trying to recover with a smile on my face. I am 4 days into trying to recover (my 106 pound, thin frame has a swollen belly that looks about 3 months pregnant) from eating gluten and dairy at a super bowl party. I also need to learn to tell others that gluten bothers me!

Diagnosed 21 years ago with IBS

Here is my question. I know of someone with primary raynauds, she has a relative with celiac and her blood work came back negative for celiac (they only did half the test...transglutaminase... she has a positive ana which has been know for 5 years....but a new result is she is vit D deficient so they have her on 50,000 IU of vit D for 12 weeks then will retest. My question is should a full celiac panel be requested when retest or leave it be and see if her vit D level is back to normal. My thought is if she is not absorbing V D maybe she is having gluten probrems. What do you think?

yes, yes.

something is wrong with the absorption since D is so low.

And, reynaud's is connected to hypothyroidsim, and that is often triggered by gluten.

If it is impossible to get the proper testing done, it is still possible to get enterolab testing.

Fat malabsorption is typical with celiac, and they do test that, and other thigns too, like fecal transglutaminase ans fecal antigliadin. The antibodies show up in the intestines long before in the blood.

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
