As way of introduction; I am a 56 year old male who has had worsening symptoms of bloating and gas. This also with bouts of loose stools. This has been going on for 10-12 years.

For some time, I suspected food reactions. But challenging a suspect food when I felt fine would have no effect. (Now I won

I can't make any promises, but my partner's (mild) asthma went away once we were gluten free. So there is hope.

You need to get your ferritin checked. When mine was in the toilet I would have a lot of shortness of breath and tachycardia. It would be a good idea to get a whole vitamin/mineral pannel done as well.

Thanks,

I will do that.

There is a panel of tests that need to be done when a celiac is diagnosed or suspected of being gluten sensitive. I've seen the list online - some of the tests are Vit D, B12, folic acid, thyroid tests and more. I would have really benefited from these tests but the Dr refused to order them and waited until I developed worse problems. I did get her to order the ferritin level.

The autoimmune reaction to gluten is so delayed in many people that it is not obvious that gluten is casing a problem. I usually react in about 6 hours, some people take longer and the symptoms may not be typical. Some people tho react sooner and they probably also have an allergy to gluten and related grains.

yep, i have a delayed reaction sometimes when i am glutened, other times i can tell right away. i think it depends on what and how much? so even though i get sick, sometimes i am going crazy trying to figure out what got me. especially when i am away from home and not eating 'normally' - it took awhile to figure out that: oh, wow, i must have gotten glutened somewhere.... because sometimes it doesn't happen right away. sometimes the next day, even, when i KNOW i have been eating safely :(

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      Worried about being isolated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
