My Symptoms - Don't Think It's Celiac But Maybe Intolerance?

Hey, everyone. New here.

Just wondering if anyone will tell me what they think of my symptoms. I don't think I have Celiac but possibly just gluten intolerance or sensitivity.

For the past two months I have been extremely nauseated (never puking), which is one of the reasons I'm curious.

I went to the doctor today finally to discuss the nausea and she thinks it's because of too much acid in my stomach, but she ordered a Celiac blood test just in case because I asked her too. She also ordered a CBC, and two other tests (can't remember which ones) - I assume because of what my mother has (see more in the bottom of the post).

  • Nausea - constant
  • Fatigue
  • get dizzy sometimes - oftentimes when I stand up I get huge head rushes to the point where I'm seeing black and fall over
  • Increased gas (kinda smelly LOL)
  • constantly want cake and chocolate(don't know if this would be a real symptom because I have lost a good 25 pounds since January and have restricted my dessert intake)
  • constant headaches
  • sometimes get short of breath for no reason
  • once in a while (maybe every two weeks) I get a weird tingling/heated sensation in my legs
  • heartburn (have had for at least a few years)
  • suffer from anxiety and depression
  • very irritable all the time
  • joint pain (I have Reflex Neurovascular/Sympathetic Dystrophy)
  • have trouble falling asleep
  • get UTIs and Conjunctivitis quite a lot
  • have been having more constipation than usual (used to get constipated a lot as a child but it stopped when I entered my teen years)

My family has a history of heart disease, depression (grandmother was suicidal), and cancer. My mother's parents were born in Sicily and she has Thrombocytopenia (giant platelets), which I believe may have some relation to Celiac but I'm not certain. She also has a thyroid problem (I tested for it a year ago but it came back negative as well as anemia). I have also been misdiagnosed for Rheumatoid Arthritis if that helps, but that was changed to the RND.

What do you think? I don't think I have the major Celiac symptoms but the ones I do have have to mean something, right?

Thanks!

You could possibly have celiac disease. Most everything you listed can be a symptom of celiac.

It could be Celiac, so you need to continue eating gluten for testing.

Feeling faint upon standing could be POTS.

Continue with your testing and remember there is growing evidence that a gluten free diet can be very helpful in many auto-immune diseases.

:) Remember to get all copies of your test results. :)

Thanks, guys. I'm still waiting for the test results but I will definitely post them when I get my hands on them.

Got my lab results today...or rather, I was told them. I apparently have no sensitivity to gluten, but I do have Hepatitis A and that's why I've been feeling nauseated for so long.

I requested a copy of all my results and out of the four that I had done, the one she did not give me a copy of was my Celiac Panel...guess I'll have to go back later and get it.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
