Does This Sound Like Celiac Disease To You?

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 for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
