OKay... as you may recall from the thread "I am begining to doubt" I have ben gluten-free for 2 months, not getting muhc better, still anemic, etc. My son was postivly diagnosed (see sig), and I have alot of unresloved symptons that fit celiac disease. Decided to eat some chololate cake as a test (cant afford Entorlab, and insurance wont pay for blood work, etc). After eating the cake, I felt realy bad. Cramps, multiple toliet trips, etc. Took most of the day to clear the bluk of the symptons, and part of the next. Evently I got over it... and went back to my normal level of misery...

Yesterday and the day before thoguh I felt extermly tried, headaches, etc, all the symptons of when I run out of iron in my system.. and now that I know that to look for... I also notice that today, almost a week after the cake, my stools were black and tary.

Does all this sound normal? Should I be concerned at all? I am not schedualed for another check up for several months...

I have reactions that last for 2 weeks. You could be having a reaction from it now yes. I would say monitor it though. Have you had this kind of reaction before or is this the first time?

Also,this is in relation to your anemia...have you had your thyroid checked? Thyroid disorders can be in connection with the thyroid which are both in connection with celiac.

Can not say either way... never been gluten free before, and never realy paid attn till recently.

Thyroid disorders can be in connection with the thyroid which are both in connection with celiac.

Wow Thyroid disorders are connected to the thyroid?? I never knew! :D

Sorry, but had to poke a little fun.

As for having it check, I have to dig up the tests.. but I azm pretty sure that was tested for last year via a blood test.

Haha oops can you tell I've had a long day. I was multitasking and made a error :lol: Don't blame you for poking a little fun in there I would have done the same thing...you know what I meant:

I would say you are having a reaction though. If you do in fact have celiac and have went all those years undiagnosed then I wouldn't expect your symptoms to go away so soon. If you have seen even a tiny bit of improvement I would think at the least there is a negative reaction to gluten in your body so I would totally stick with the diet and and see if things improve in the upcoming months.

I think the norm for reactions is 2 weeks. I know it is for me anyway, and Kaiti too ;) If they last longer than 2 weeks, I would go to the doctor and see if something else is wrong. Hope you are better soon :)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
