Results Of My Test

Doc said the results came back as not celiac. My Vit D was only 13.5 and the normal is around 32 to 100. Been on the gluten free diet for 9 days now and my "D" is kinda gone. I only go 1 time a day now and it is still soft and unformed. He saie I could still have Celiac but didn't eat enough gluten to show up on test, or it could be in early stage and not have enough antibody's to show up on test.

He said he thought the leg cramps and bone pain was from being so low on Vit D and because of that could not absorb calcium and magnesium so I am now taking 50,000 mg of vit D every other day for 2 weeks then 1 tab of 50,000 once a week after that. I am also on magnesium 4 pills a day for the muscle cramps.

I told him I am going to stay on the diet because I feel better on it. and I have lost 4 pounds in 9 days on this diet. I stopped taking the Bentyl because I started to get constipated from it and the diet is working.

My A1c was very bad and he is going to retest that in 4 months. It was 6.0 the range for diebeties is 6.4 and up. so he said to not eat any gluten, rice potatoes and to stick to just fruits vegtables and meat.

my cholestol was very bad too. my hdl was only 39 and my ldl was 109 so I have to work on that going down too.

what I don't understand is, if my "D" was caused by a low vit D then why did my "D" start to go away from this diet?

So now I don't know, Do I have celiac or not.

What what do you all think?

I think your wise to stay on the diet. I don't think low vit D can cause diarrhea so I think it is your diet change that is relieving that. Your A1c may also normalize after you have been on the diet for a bit. Being sick can raise the blood sugar levels but do keep an eye on it.

You have what's called non-celiac gluten intolerance. As your doctor says, it may be subclinical celiac disease since your D is so low. It's probably a good idea to stay gluten-free.

yes, ditto and ditto.

also, i recently read a study where celiacs or gluten intolerant patients had their cholesterol retested after being on a gluten free diet. it seemed as though being gluten free for some time may have raised their HDL, and lowered their Triglycerides. but had no effect on their LDL.

forgot where i read it. i was a little perturbed, cause my HDL & Triglycerides are great... its my LDL that i need to lower. ???

:) Thank you guys, you made me feel a little better. I am sooo depressed right now and tired. I wish I didn't have to be on this diet. But I will continue because maybe I will feel better about it in the long run.

I guess I need to get some good recipes for meat and veggies. I am not a good cook right now and my food is soooo boring. :rolleyes:

Why don't you start out with some stew recipes now that fall is coming on. You can make delicious dishes with chicken and beef with root veggies, onions, mushrooms, greens, some gluten-free chicken or beef stock, oodles of recipes on the web and most of them are gluten free. You can thicken with potato, gluten free flour or cornstarch. And the good part about stews is that you can make a big pot with plenty of leftovers for other dinners or to take for lunch if you have a microwave. :)

:D Hey! thank you mushroom! I didn't even think about stews. That sounds like a good idea and will save me money too. I am good with roast and stuff, just have to leave out the corn and potatoes. Really am going to miss those. but maybe after my blood sugar get better I can have potatoes again but think I am going to keep away from corn as much as possible.

I like to saute chicken breasts in olive oil, flavored with salt, pepper, marjoram, basil, and rosemary. Also, there are many gluten-free barbecue sauces so you can bake, broil, grill or crockpot meat with BBQ sauce. Sweet Baby Ray's is my favorite gluten-free sauce. Or cook steak with a little Lea & Perrins worchestershire (gluten-free). Also you can never go wrong with salt, pepper, onions, and garlic. :)

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
