Anyone out there have celiac disease, colitis and pancreatic insufficiency at the same time?????? no formal diagnosis here other than me having celiac disease, but a somewhat recent stool sample says i have higher than normal fat content in stool as well as white blood cells. dr. was treating me for pancreatic insufficiency with creon, that helped a little but then it seemed to stop (have bouts of daily loose stools, sometimes frothy, film on the toilet water, upper stomach "burning", etc). when i did some research on line, it seems like colitis can have excess white blood cells in the stool as well. so, i am maybe assuming i have both (actually 3) issues going on....thanks in advance for any insight you can share.

Yes, I think I do - the only part I am not sure on is the colitis, but it follows that if your pancreas is not working right it does put stress on the colon, so it makes sense that they are related.

How are you doing now? Have you found any relief?

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
