Hi

I have been dealing with various types of gastrointestinal problems for more than a year now. I have been tested for H Pylori and did a bunch of others tests. None of them resulted in anything relevant. I recently did a test called (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) and a DNA test of my saliva. It came out I am extremely intolerant to Wheat and Corn. Although I stopped eating them I still feel very bloated, with nausea and constipation. I am arriving to the conclusion that I may have parasites. Does anybody know how to get a reliable diagnosis for this types of problems? Where can I find a good doctor in my area? Any web sites to recommend? Thanks!!!

Cristy,

Have you actually been tested for Celiac Disease though eithther a blood antibody test or a small intestine biopsy? The DNA testing at this point is a fairly crude tool and not a prarticularly reliable indicator of the presence of specific diseases.

Yes, I did the celiac panel blood test and it came out negative. I honestly do not think I became extremely intolerant to wheat and corn all of the sudden. I first got sick, with sudden severe abdominal cramps, when I was traveling abroad. After weeks of nausea, pain, loss of appetite and loss of weight the doctors did not come up with any specific diagnosis (did CT, MRI, Pipida scan, ecography, gastroscopy, colonoscopy); I was just treated for intestinal bacteria. Now, after 14 months since that episode, I have more appetite and gained back some weight but I still feel very bloated with constipation and abdominal pain on the upper-right of my navel.

This together with the fact that I feel often tired and occasionally as if I had the temperature made me thinking I might got infected with parasites. But I was told it is not easy to detect them. What should I do? Should I get an appointment with a naturopathic doctor? Maybe they have a different approach to this kind of problems. Thanks for your help!

Part of your problems may be parasites but laboratory tests for parasites which affect the digestive system are very poor. I worked in medical labs for years and often did the tests and found parasites in only about 1% of the samples. The Center for Disease Control has been warning the medical community that parasite infestation is much more common than was thought because the tests are just not able to find them. Because I have a damaged intestine I seem to pick up parasites very easily so routinely do herbal parasite programs to get them out. You might want to look at the Parasite forum at Curezone. Years ago while studying for my degree it was know then that parasite infestations caused people to develop allergies.

But there are other causes you might want to explore. Apparently you had an intestinal infection which left you with lingering problems. It may have damaged the intestinal wall and allowed food antigens into the body resulting in food allergies. It most likely left you with an unbalanced intestinal flora with toxin producing bacteria and yeasts over-growing your normal healthy intestinal organisms. Drs have their treatments for this but I and many others have found alternative treatments and programs are necessary to cope with this.

Thanks a lot. Your reply reassures me. Do you know of any good cleansing products? I am currently using Colonix and would like to get something natural that works against parasites. I have read about the products of Dr. Hulda Clark. Are they good? Thanks

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross contamination aware), so fingers crossed this continues.  As I am UK based, I have finally got through to dermatology and rheumatology in the NHS (no more private appointments which is great!) She was amazing and agreed on what sounds like dermatitis herpetiformis. However, she has also diagnosed me with chronic urticaria (hives) which will explain the swelling of my face, eyes, lips, and even sometimes tongue! So might be an allergy on the case, or perhaps another autoimmune condition due to the undiagnosed coeliac until this year. A skin biopsy has now been arrange for next month which is positive (there’s talks of me eating gluten for a day to activate the rash also, scary but they will have medication on site!)  Currently, I’m feeling more positive about my diagnosis and am so thankful to my hospital for the ongoing support I wasn’t able to get from my GP.  Things are looking up!

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was definitely aggravating/causing this and I found that it was the use of too many steroid creams (they thought I had eczema) and heavy moisturisers bothering my dermatitis herpetiformis.  Since being gluten free for a year, I haven’t really suffered with an episode of the seb dermatitis for a while. Just trying to navigate the dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks now.  But definitely feel there could be a correlation!

      Hi, just went to the Tierra Farm site and while no wheat or gluten is listed there was this: Ingredients Dry Roasted Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Sea Salt. *Processed in a facility that handles tree nuts, soy, sesame and milk.  So many of us have other allergies and sensitivities, always check and recheck. These may not be appropriate for all. I have been fine with nuts.com certified gluten free in the past but have not ordered anything in a while so things can change. Hopefully they will continue to be ok.

      I have had very mild rosacea on my cheeks for years. I also am celiac abd have recently been diagnosed with rosacea in one eye. I have been prescribed eye drops during the day and a gel at night.

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA Variants Detected: HLA DQA1*05 and again HLA DQA1*05 HLA DQB1*0201 and again HLA DQB1*0201
