Does This Sound Like Celiac Disease To You?


justcrash

Recommended Posts

justcrash Newbie

For my entire life (I'm a 37 year old male) I can recall I have had

the following symptoms:

Constant exhaustion (ready for bed 2 hours after I get up)

Constant, deep depression

Unable to think clearly

No energy

Unable to lose weight no matter how much I exercise or change my eating habits

Dark circles under my eyes

Stuffy nose, I thought may have been stress triggered

Horrible constipation, but NEEDING to rush to the bathroom 8-9 times a

day to only produce air (sorry, gross, I know, this started when I started my CPAP treatment in 2006 and have been 100% compliant)

Painful cramps and stomach bloating

Always hungry. Always. Cannot eat enough.

Ice pick migraines and constant low, buzzing head aches.

Sick a lot

Have trouble functioning at night outside, hard to drive, it's like I

get confused or something.

Nothing I have ever tried, whether it's CPAP, mood stabilizers, anti

depressants, intense exercise, eating healthier, etc has worked. To

the point I am disgusted with the medical community and off and on

suicidal.

Been diagnosed with: bipolar, Apnea, MS, areophagia and hypoglycemia.

Does it sound like celiac? I've started cutting glutten and soy out

and minimizing dairy. I keep accidentally dosing myself, but Ive been

trying since Sunday and don't see a lot of change yet. :(

Welcome to the forum justcrash.

Yes, it sounds like you could have celiac or a gluten intolerance. Have you had a blood tests for celiac yet? If you want to have them done you need to still be eating gluten.

Some people start feeling better after a few days or weeks and sometimes it will take a few months.

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thanks to both of you for your responses!  Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone. In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—
