I have been suffering for about 13 yrs now gastric and multiple other symptoms. My blood work is usually normal. Recently My Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgG came back 34.9 (above 25 is positive) and IgA 48.5. I am also positive for eosinophil's. My gastro diagnosed me with Chrons cause of the IgG and IgA but is confused cause I am positive for Eosinophil (which is an allergy) I have been Entocort for 2 months. It worked for a month and now I am sick again. My WBC is always normal, dont run a fever, rarely diarrhea, mostly constipation, never vomit, have vision problems, and so on. My stomach is bubbling all the time. Could this be Celiac and not Chron's?? What should I do next. Had all test including the capsule camera that never left my stomach for 8 hours so no luck with that. All other test come back negative beside minor inflammation where small intestine and large meet. (1 out of 5 colonoscopies reveled that). MRI of brain Neg. CT Scan and MRI of abdom neg. What next?

Has your doctor run a celiac panel?

There are people with gluten intolerance who do not have positive tests for celiac disease. Also going off gluten seems to help some people with other bowel problems. There is also a gluten-free, lactose-free diet called the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet" (SCD) that some people around here swear by. Once you have the celiac testing done, you can try either gluten-free or SCD and see if it helps.

You could also have both celiac and chrons. I would do as Skylark advised and try the gluten-free diet after you are done with celiac testing. You don't need to wait for the results as false negatives on celiac testing are unfortunately common. Being gluten free will only effect the testing for celiac. If there are other issues going on they can still be tested for.

Weird thing is that I started a Gluten Free Diet and in the mist of moving 1500 miles this week I ate Gluten and woke up this morning fatigue as hell, cold sore in my mouth, and flu feeling. Per my primary dr the celiac panel was negative but I know that the test I took above can relate to Celiac and is specific for the small bowel. My gastro said from day one he thinks it from food allergy cause of the positive Esophinils but became confused after the positive blood test. I am a text book case. LOL. I am starting gluten free again today. Uuggg..

Glad to hear your starting back on the diet again. Don't be surprised if your tied to the bathroom in a day or two.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Some sublingual B12 may help a bit with the fatigue.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
