:( Almost 5 Months!

I've been sick for like almost 5 months now. The first day I was sick was August 14, 2011. I get really nauseous, SUPER bloated and bad gas after I eat certain foods. I'm really annoyed because the doctor has done a blood test, and an ultra sound on me to see if I have bacteria or gall stones. She doesn't think I have an ulcer or anything to that extent because I haven't been having any other symptoms that can signify that (my bowel movements are normal). I'm starting to think maybe it's a gluten intolerance or allergy and I'm REALLY annoyed because I won't be able to test for it for a couple weeks (I've been needing to find out the answer since August so hopefully it's understandable as to why I'm so impatient!). I just want to know other people's stories if they have experiences like mine. Sometimes vomiting, nauseous, SUPER bloated (I have never felt this bloated before; way worse than typical "that time of the month" bloating) and burping a lot after i eat. It's super annoying because all these tests I have taken have come out normal. No abnormalities, no gallstones, no bacteria.

Here are a few things I have thrown up/gotten really sick after:

-Soup from Corner Bakery

-Panini/ Sandwich from Corner Bakery/Panera Bread

-Burger(s)

-Chipotle (Just had it right now and feel really sick :( Never have felt sick after eating this before.)

-Popcorn

-French Toast

-Burrito

Probably more I can't think of.

Any tips to hang in there until I can get more tests done?! I'm SO frustrated :/ I used to have such a big appetite and I used to be able to eat anything. I miss my old tummy. I literally woke up one morning and just started throwing up. :(

Idk if this helps.

But I am 20 years old, female, 5'1 and about 115 pounds. NEVER EVER BEEN SICK BEFORE :( I was the healthiest person ever :(

I've been tested for

-Gallstones

-"H. Pylori AB IGG"

-"H. Pylori AB IGA"

-"H. Pylori AB IGM"

have no idea what that means :/ The doctor doesn't think I have IBS or Ulcers because I don't have enough symptoms I guess! The only weird poops I have is when my poops feel "sharp." And I don't have hemorrhoids (I was tested for that too -___-) so idk why it feels sharp sometimes?

Sorry TMI.

I'm just a frustrated used-to-always-be-healthy/never-got-sick 20 year old college student! My sickness even conflicted with my studies last quarter :(

Welcome to the forum. I am new here as well. I am not sure if this helps but you could call your doctor and say that you have symptoms of Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and see if they will run the blood test before you come to the office. You need the full Celiac panel. I had trouble getting for my daughter because she is gene negative for Celiac (you don't have to have the genes it is just rare to have Celiac without the genes). Anyway, I ordered them myself at www.ineedlabs.com However, you have to pay upfront and it is 200 bucks but your insurance might cover it. I would start with the doctor office first and tell them you would like to make the appt meaningful. As some wise person on this board said, remember that the doctor works for you. If you ask for a lab test, they should give it to you.

Does anyone in your family have Celiac or gluten intolerance? This isn't a requirement to have Celiacs but it helps the argument for blood tests now.

Good luck and keep me posted.

Nope... :/ No one in my family is known to be allergic to anything. What's the "full Celiac panel?"

Thank you for your reply:)

My daughter too although our family has tons of autoimmune disorders and cancers that are associated with Celiac.

Here is the panel from labcorp

Hope this helps. Others here can give you more info on the tests.

I would ask what the Celiac Panel that they are ordering covers.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
