Blood Work/colonoscopy

I hope this is ok to ask on your page.......I had a colonscopy and endoscopy 2-3 years ago....they said I am lacto. intollerant but I had the tests because my mother, her brother and her mother all have Celiac Disease. They told me there were no signs of Celiac. However my blood tests are now coming back with skewed levels of albumi......n and the albumin/globulin ratio.....these levels may indicate many things, however the one that popped out at me was malnutrition (I am having more blood work done to narrow this down further). I have had a problem losing weight for the past 5 years regardless of lots and lots of exercise. My research shows that people can have very different reactions to Celiac whereas some my have weight loss, others may have weight gain (my Unlce never had any symptoms! but got tested becuase of the genetic component & was positive). My ? is, has anyone ever had anything similar??? any help/advise that anyone can offer would be GREATLY APPRECIATED Thank you!

Just because you were negative 2 years ago, you could have developed it & test positive now. My kids are negative. They will get the blood test every 2 -3 years if they have no symptoms. If they have symptoms, we would test them right away.

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By plumbago · Posted

      Could it be something (some additive or other) they added to the rice flour to make it easier to work with or cook?

      My lips actually have an allergic reaction.  Apparently it's rice flour ontop of the bread, but I don't have a problem with rice. I can't have gluten

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By plumbago · Posted

      @gurgi I would look at the ingredients and go through that list to see if an allergic reaction is possible. Regarding m and s soft rolls: I did a search on the ingredients of the gluten free version. It has added B vitamins (b2, b5, and b6). I also see that niacin (b3) was added. Sometimes when people take b3 or, really, too much of it, they get a flush. Again, go through the ingredients, try to figure out what constitutes that powder on the tops of the breads, and see if it could be causing a reaction.

      Almost in remission!!!

      @lydialoo, Tell me about your high dose Thiamine routine. What kind of Thiamine are you taking?  How much (mg) are you taking?  When do you take it? Are you taking a B Complex?   Are you taking Magnesium?

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By gurgi · Posted

      I have an issue with some gluten free bread. When I eat bread that has a lot of powder on the top of it (warburtons wraps and m and s soft rolls), my lips immediately become inflamed and sore, then they become red and cracked and sore. Can anyone help me. I am struggling to work out what it is that is causing this.
