Igg Tests Back

I am not confirmed Celiac but went gluten free due to a Endoscopy that showed lower intestine damage. 2 Biopsies taken came back negative.

I have been gluten free since 3/2/12 and then started having all sorts of food intolerance issues. I stopped all corn/soy/yeast/dairy/avacados etc and I keep a diary. I have nothing processed. I am down to veggies, fruits and meats in their simple forms. I get poisoned at least every 3 days. I was on a rotation diet but I was getting burned left and right so I stopped and just started eating some safe foods but I still got burned on Tuesday of this week. Yesterday I got my IgG test back and I am sensitive to almonds, eggs, bananas and cranberries but no gluten/wheats. I had stopped eggs and almonds 2 weeks ago but I was having a bit of cranberries and bananas up until yesterday. Today I have not had any, i behaved all day. The only thing that bothered me today are fats. If I don't eat them I get terrible and unbearable pains in my back. So I have been drinking little bits of EVOO here and there with food today to add it back into my diet a bit but my stomach burns when I do it.

I am so terrified of getting sick again. My major symptom is dehydration as soon as I fall asleep, it's like I dry up like a raisin immediately and my kidneys hurt from it so bad. It's like every organ inside me dries up and I can feel it and I get very sore on the inside for days and then I get burned again and its just a nightmare over and over again. Of course this causes insomnia, anxiety and night sweats with cold and hot flashes. I fear I can't live through much more of this. I am down to 100lbs and steadily dropping because I am afraid to eat.

A urine test a week ago confirmed blood in my urine but they thought it was a kidney infection and sent a culture out to the lab that came back negative so that was the end of that. I saw my new GI tuesday and she also noticed blood in my urine. She took 6 viles of blood for more celiac, IgG tests and liver tests. I have a HIDA scan scheduled tomorrow if I can stay unsick until then. I wonder if the radioactive dye will make me sick...

I am also nervous that the EVOO burning may cause me to get sick but I won't really know until I fall asleep tonight. (wierd huh?) I saw my ND yesterday and I was so sick but she made me this remedy that has really helped with my symptoms this time around but its made from arsenic and I am not sure I want to keep going to her and paying for poison to treat my problems. I would have to pay $70 for each dose from her as well.

My question is... Do you think just stopping the cranberries and bananas will stop me from reacting? Or am I doomed? I still rotate my dinners and lunches but I stick to safe similar foods during the morning and snack times because of advise from my ND. Is that bad? Almost every thing i eat is on the IgG test and shows as a safe food.

If my gallbladder is bad and they remove it, will my weird intolerance symptoms change?

I almost hate to ask because I'm sure you've posted before... have you looked into salicylates, amines, histamines - those types of intolerances? You seem to be reacting in an unpredictable pattern, to many foods - and sometimes those types of intolerances are the underlying issues.

How can I test for those?

As far as I know, by food diary and elimination.

Here's a link about histamines/amines. I know there's better info about it, just not sure where. Open Original Shared Link

Here's one about salicylates. Again, I know there's more and better-search the board you should find plenty. Open Original Shared Link

I have no clue but I see no need to eat cranberries or bananas. If you think they are causing a problem then stop eating them.

If you do have gallbladder trouble then eating fats will make it worse.

I would drop the arsenic supplement and consider replacing with a soothing (lower-risk) herbal tea. Milk thistle, ginger root, pau d'arco, dandelion root and goldenseal are just a few that are said to have digestive system benefits. Milk thistle is said to be good for reducing liver and gall bladder congestion so that might one to check out first. Some have potential side effects and rx medication interactions so you may want to read up before you try. Good luck.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
