Question About Celiac Symptoms

Why is it that Celiac can cause some people to have C and others to have D? Many members of my family are being tested and are asking why it is that the same condition can cause such different gut reactions. Does anybody know why or how this happens? Thanks.

I'm no doctor, but if you think about it... celiac is a systemic autoimmune disease. Systemic, meaning it can affect any part of your internal system, and it affects people differently. There could be reasons for this that science has not identified yet. It could be that people with certain genetics are more prone tummy problems, others more prone to neurological issues, others have the skin issues, and many have a variety of things. It could be that blood types make a difference, it could be that environment, or other secondary food intolerances are at play. Its really difficult to pinpoint why certain people have certain issues, and that's why research about gluten intolerance is really in its infancy. There is so much they don't know yet. That's why we all try so hard to figure out how our individual bodies react to different foods, etc. Your family members have genes from the same people, but the combinations are different, so no two people will react identically to the same things, if that makes sense.

C and D on this forum usually refer to constipation and diarrhea. In another context they refer to vitamins.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
