curious to know - would being celiac cause your blood alcohol level to be way higher than what it in reality really is?

I don't think being celiac would have any effect on your BAC. Celiacs do not tolerate some gluten derived alcohols which can make you feel more intoxicated and have a worse hangover though.

It would actually be the opposite. Up to %80 of alcohol is absorbed in the small intestines and only %20 is absorbed in the stomach. If your intestines are not absorbing correctly (Celiac) than you will not absorb all of the alcohol. What your talking about sounds like a hepatic disorder.......witch could be related to Celiac Disease. (contradictory statements, I know)

I think this is true. I never could figure out how I could drink one beer and be full-on drunk, but still be reasonably sober after two strong mixed drinks. And the morning after drinking beer I would always have GI problems (doesn't happen with liquor or wine). 'Twas the gluten. One gluten-free beer doesn't make me drunk.

Yea I could never figure out why I would feel drunk and get a hangover from alcohol free beer. It was the neuro effects of gluten on my brain. Like you I can have two or three gluten free alcohol drinks and be fine the next day but give me one gluten derived drink and I am in lala land and sick as a dog the next day.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
