Question About Results

My genetic testing came back positive for carrying the genes. My blood work was negative. My biopsy showed damaged. He said it's possible for people to walk around with the genes and not have celiacs. He told me to try the gluten free diet to confirm and I been doing it since October 2011. I'm not getting this... Anyone else have results like mine?

Yes. My blood work was either negative or non-conclusive. (It was almost seven years ago so I don't remember.) The gastroenterologist bet me $50 that I didn't have celiac disease but my internal medicine doctor was sure I did. I had already had a colonoscopy that didn't show any major problems a year before. My doctor insisted that the next colonoscopy have biopsies EVERYWHERE. I only had damage in one small area close to my ileocecal valve, but I was diagnosed with having celiac disease and went on the gluten free diet. I got better almost immediately. My problems with fibromyalgia improved immensely and my stomach problems stopped. Now I only have problems when I accidentally get gluten.

Note of caution...there is gluten in LOTS of things - salad dressings, salsa, soy sauce, spices, soup, shampoo, makeup.

There is a lot of information available about what foods are safe. Good luck.

You aren't seeing any improvement yet?

Sounds like you have celiac, he just wants you to eat gluten free to confirm.

I went gluten free in November. I have had to stop eating eggs, and now lactose to feel better.

I see an improvement on and off. But my nutritionist said she thinks because i have such a bad anxiety disorder and stressful life that my stomach isn't healing as fast as it could be. I can't tolerate corn, eggs, or alcohol

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
