Don't Know Whats Wrong

The past couple weeks I have been having a problem. I keep getting exhausted and out of breath. Sometimes i will go up the stairs to check on my kids or just clean a room and i will feel that way and have to take a break. Like this moring i sweeped and mop the dinning room and hallway and had to take a break. I am just wodering what it could be. I know it could be low iron cause i have had problems with that on and off for at least 10 years. I want to make a docters appointment but dont have a car at the moment and i would have to wait till hubby gets home cause he is a truck driver. I also have had low potassuim and low vitamin b12 before.

I felt like that with low Vitamin D. I felt horrible.

I agree low Vit D or maybe iron. Take some VIt D & a slow release iron tabs & when you get to the Dr. have those levels chkd.

If you can get some bloodwork done, you might very well have your answer. I would especially note the D, iron and B12.

Make sure you have your ferritin checked too!

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
