Liver Enzymes

I just went for bloodwork and am concerned that my liver ALT is still high. i will confess i put all my health issues on the shelf for a while and havent had blood work in 2 yrs. ive been enjoying my life, eating out and not obsessing over food so much. however, i am worried that in the process i may have been causing more damage to myself. whenever i eat out i say gluten allergy and am always very careful, but the reality is it will still slip in somewhere.

i had breakfast at a restaurant last week and i told them i was allergic to gluten and they brought out eggs with bacon and hash browns. the hash browns were more like small french fries and after i ate one i asked the server if they were fried in a dedicated fryer. he said no and also said they were coated in flour...it happens. anyway, even if you are on a strict gluten-free diet the reality is you are gonna get some level of cc and if that can cause an elevation in liver enzymes, can this be detrimental to your liver long-term?

I lived in a box for 1 year and was depressed and hated my life cause i barely ate out and i cant go back to that lifestyle again. i have really been enjoying life and i cant take a step backwards at this point.

would appreciate advice . i will repost when i get my blood work but i am a little nervous that the ALT may still be elevated or higher than it was 2 yrs ago or that there may be other things wrong. my regular exam was fine, EKG, urine and lung xrays were all normal

thanks so much!

Jason try not to worry about it until you get the test results back. When you get the results post them if they are not normal and perhaps someone will have some answers for you. With the previous elevated ALT hopefully you are being kind to your liver and either avoiding alcohol altogether or at least drinking very little.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
