GI symptoms after eating breads, pasta, pizza, baked goods, BEER!

27 years old

AST: 48 (H)

ALT: 74 (H)

Bilirubin: 1.8 (H)

LDL: 271 (H)

Total Chol: 355 (H)

Hemoglobin: 15.6(H)

Hematocrit: 46.2(H)

Doctor reduced my insistence on wheat intolerance to simply "IBS and eat some probiotic yogurt". Which I had already told him that I do...

Took more bloodwork for liver. Scheduled a liver ultrasound.

Scared. Mad. Confused.

Is my body not trying to fight off of all this gluten I have been eating?

My dietitian firmly believes I have at least a gluten intolerance, if not celiac.

What should I do next?

Ask the Dr. to run the full Celiac panel? Tell him it's worth "ruling out"? You might test positive and you'll have your answer. If you test negative, be aware that 20-30% of us do. Your unusual blood tests seem like testing is warrented?

If you're tested and get a negative result, please try going completely gluten-free for at least 3 months and see how you feel?

I just lost a cousin to liver failure. She was only 41. From talking to the family she suffered with many Celiac symptoms for years, but they never thought to test her!

Insist on celiac testing, full panel. If this doctor won't do it, find one who will.

You should also have your thyroid function checked out, and rule out the common stuff like diabetes.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
