Holy cow! I'm crying again. But this time it's because I found out my friends are organizing a fundraiser so I can get that MRI. I feel TERRIBLE about taking charity - I've always been one to give charity, not recieve it. But I feel wonderful knowing that my friends care about me so much. And it WILL be good to finally find out what this is - even if it turns out to be cancer. At least I'll know.

That's so nice about your friends!

If you are paying cash for the MRI, you might be able to get it cheaper. Someone paying at the time of service costs the hospital less than billing insurance companies or managing people making payments.

Keep trying to eat the things that aren't your worst foods. Not eating just makes you feel worse & messes up your digestion more.

It's not charity when it's from your friends. That's called love. :)

I hope you are able to get your MRI asap! You are so lucky to have such good friends! Don't hesitate to let them help! I know if I had a sick friend I would want to be able to ease their burden! Keep us posted!

"Candida" perhaps. Candida overgrowth can cause a countless number of issues including food intolerance's. I would research that as well.

This sums up what I have read myself .... I say this as I reel from my own issues and Im trying to sort it all out myself.

Gluten intolerance and issues with Candida can overlap and be devastating, unless your aware of BOTH and actively address both problems.

For what its worth.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
