Can you have Celiac and all electrolytes be normal? I am borderline anemic but potasium, sodium, all the basic metobolic panel labs are normal. I have many symptoms and have since I was a baby including Intussception and I was a failure to thrive baby. Now liver enzymes out of whack, among countless other problems but electrolytes are normal? Haven't tested vitamins just K,NA,Glucose,Calcium,Protein etc.

Thanks

Roxie

Are you asking because you have a problem with endurance or are thirsty all the time? Are you experiencing muscle exhaustion without recovery?

I have both actually I can't make it through a simple one item shopping trip without stopping to rest. My legs feel like they are going to give out just from the walk up to the door. The thirst thing I have had forever. I think it is from my meds.

Well, I'd advise a thorough vitamin panel because that is usually associated with a vitamin deficiency in Celiacs - usually d or iron.

I had it bad - couldn't handle heat or exercise. No stamina. I was huffing and puffing and sucking down electrolyte lemonade.

If you are on meds that could be it, too.

Could be thyroid.

Thank you I think I will ask for that no matter what the results of my tests.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response. I started the challenge the 2nd week of April with 2 slices of sandwich bread per day (tried to get a larger loaf size, each slice weighed 50g) and continued that through April/May/June up until my scope this past week. On weekends I had extra gluten foods like noodles, cookies, etc. But couldn't tolerate much more than the 2 slices during the workweek. I had hoped that doing this for ~9 weeks would be enough, since I only did 2 weeks for the first scope earlier this year.  Yes, the doctor who did the actual scope and told me about what she saw immediately after is the same doctor who reviewed the pathology report.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      I can't remember if I tried taking thiamine at one point and it didn't agree with me, or if I tried it but didn't take it very long.  I may have to try that out again.  I have taken magnesium threonate in the past and unfortunately it did not help with my migraines.  I do take a monthly injectable migraine preventative and I know not to eat after 8pm or I will wake up with a monster migraine (not sure why the time is a trigger, but it's there, LOL). I definitely have a histamine issue.  I think I actually may have MCAS but never been diagnosed with that.  That's good to know about Vitamin C and B12.  Thanks!!

      From what I understand, my high antibody level and EMA positivity rule out NCGS because those are not typically elevated in NCGS.  That's what I've read anyway?   My doctor is calling it "potential" or "latent" celiac disease, which honestly is just frustrating.  I don't have celiac but I also don't not have celiac.  I'm just in limbo and I can either choose to continue eating gluten and see if it progresses, or I can go gluten free and see how I feel.   I hate this gray area - I just wanted something concrete and definitive and now I kind of wish I never started this whole process.

      Tell us about your "longer gluten challenge". Current guidelines for the gluten challenge are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the blood draw day or the scoping/biopsy.  "I just received the pathology report with the doctor's comments, and it shows "findings not consistent with celiac disease" and that she believes I may have NCGS." Is this the same doctor who "stated that my duodenum was "drastically different" than the first scope and that "gluten is clearly doing something to me."? There are other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA:  My suspicion, however, is that your gluten challenge wasn't rigorous enough and resulted in borderline test results.

      I have had good luck with eating deep fat fried foods and only mild symptoms of my fatigue and headaches.  Can anyone else relate to this?
