Does This Sound Like Celiac?

Hiya.

I've had these symptoms for ages, but I had blood tests last year to rule out celiac disease.. now i'm experiencing similar symptoms again, but worse - they all indicate celiac disease. I'll explain them:

Firstly, i'm a type 1 diabetic, and know that I am more susceptable to auto-immune disease such as celiac disease, but am aware that this doesn't mean I have it.

I get severe upper abdominal cramps often; headaches; feel dizzy and tired often; feel bloated sometimes without barely eaten; my appetite is usually good, but during this recent bout of (what do I call it) 'illness,' i've completly lost my appetite; I have various bowel motions from solids to bright yellow liquids (currently, they're the latter and i've had this for the past 84hours pretty much non stop unless I haven't eaten, which is what i've now taken to doing). The yellow squits happened last time about 2 hours after eating a slice of toast with butter.

I think I should go to mr dr and ask for a celiac blood test.

What do you think?

The symptoms you describe sound painful. I hope you can get some relief. I have found from reading a lot of the posts that not all doctors give the full up to date Celiac panel blood tests. Do you know which blood tests your doctor had tested you for previously?

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?

      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.
