Hi Everybody!

I would like to tell you what have been happening in my life since I have been positive for SIBO. I was on two antibiotics for 14 days (morning and evening). Durring that time I was going to the bethroom 6-10 times a day. I drank water and I went. Uff! It is much better now, only 3-4 times. Which is great.

About one week later I got glutened or it was reaction to something diferent that I ate (apples). O, My Good! I woke up at 4:00 AM to a unbelievable pain. I tought that somebody is cutting my stomach with nife. I had pain from my ribcage to the "other" end of my body. I wasn't able to move. I was bloathed, but not able to pass gass - sorry for this. I was in pain for two hours. Next day I called my doctor in New York and asked her for the fructose test because I also ate an apple a day before. This Friday I had the test for fructose intolerance which came back possitive - more things that I can't eat. :(:(

I just got back from wisiting my allergologist. She tested me for the wheat, eggs, chicken, soy, corn, fish, tomato. Everything was negative. In August I tested positive for wheat allergy. The reaction was delayed, but it lasted for more than 24 hours.

The result from that is: wheat intolerance. I don't have the imediate reaction to wheat, but I have delayed which will cause digestive issues. I don't know, if I have the real celiac disease yet, but I know that I have wheat intolerance.

I don't have the results from my genetic test at Kimball Genetics yet, I don't know If there is even possibility of having the celiac disease. I shoul get it this week. I will let you know the result.

I still have one issue which nobody knows what it is- feeling of fainting, dizziness, blackouts,palpitations, fatigue, sleapiness. It's 6 months and I have just a very mild improvement. Does anybody know what is wrong?

I will see my regular doctor on Friday. I would like to ask him to check again my iron, vitamin D, and magnesium levels and also pancreas enzymes.

Yeah, I was thinking about magnesium too, when you mentioned palpitations and fatigue etc. Also try to get the test results, different countries measure magnesium levels differently ('normal' in some countries can be 'low' really..)

And it depends how the tests are done too, you probably got info on that already,or you can research it..

There are other vitamins/minerals that could be a problem too.. You might wanna track your nutrition on fitday.com to see approximately what you might be deficient in?

How is your blood pressure like? When I was younger I had fainting and such, my blood pressure was extremely low..

Do you manage to get any exercise? Also what is your air quality like? Any chemical industry near-by? (Or indoor pollution?)

I'm not so sure about apples myself either.. might also depend if you eat them alone or with any grains? (grains+fruit=gases and bloating..)

My magnesium level was 1.7, low ref. range 1.8 - 2.4 on 8/10/2010.

iron was 35 ref. range 35-150

iron saturation 10 low ref. range 11-46

vitamin b12 417 ref. range 200-1100

vitamin D 31 ref. range 30-100

vit D, 25-OH,D2 <4

The tests were done in The USA by Quest Diagnostics. I was born in Slovakia. English isn't my first language. Sometimes I will make spelling mistakes. Sorry for that. Two years ago I didn't even knew how to create a sentence. Look at me now. I'm writing in English with people from other countries. :)

I'm gluten free from May 23. It took me about two weeks to learn all things where I can find gluten. I ingested gluten by accident a few times. I can say that from the first week of June, I didn't ate nothing with gluten in it. From June 15 I'm also milk free. I tested positive for the milk allergy. I was already milk intolerant, but from time to time I had some icecream or cheese. After positive test I'm 100% milk (casein) free.

The pain what I experienced was very bad. That day I ate the coconut yogurt SO Delicious ( only this was something new, I never had it before)and one slice of bread Glutino, home made chicken soup- more like broth for lunch, some fruit between ( I don't remember what - maybe strawberries, blackberies or peach), at 5 PM I had another yogurt (It was very tasty. I didn't have yogurt for about 9 months. A very long time). For dinner at 6:30PM I had potatoes, chicken breast from soup and cucumber salat. For snack about 9:00 PM one big apple. When I ate my dinner I had some milder bloathing and pain in stomach. After dinner I had pain, level 8 from 0-10 points. I took one Gas-X. It helped, but I ate apple to "help me" digest the food. I was wrong!!!! My bloathing came back, and before I went to sleap I took another Gas-X. Then at 4:00 AM I woke up on pain level 11 from scale 0-10. :o:(:o:unsure:

It was apple or yogurt? I don't know, but something didn't agree with my stomach.

The carageen(sp?) in that yogurt is known to cause abdominal distress. I found out the hard way as well. I hope you feel better soon.

BTW, work on getting your vitamin D up. I also was recently tested by Quest and came in at the range of 44. My doctor just called me about an hour ago and said she likes to see it between 50-100 for optimal health, despite that 44 is still considered in range. She told me to take 5,000 IUs per day.

Wow! My doctor told me to take only 1000 UI a day. It looks like it's to low, if I'm taking into consideration my level of the vitamin D.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article
