Hey!

I got my blood screening results back over the phone it read "antibodies rule out active celiac disease"

So i'm going back to the DR on Monday to see what my other options are....

I was hoping that screening would be the answers to all my prayers.... (no such luck) I continue to suffer from

fatigue

dizzyness

balance issues

constipation

D

sweating after eating

night sweats

vison disturbances

anxiety

hypoglycemic attacks

throat discomfort

anemia

high cholestoral

shortness of breath

bloating (at times look 9 months pregnant)

gas

weight gain (unable to loose it)

sensitivity to loud noises

I don't know if anyone has ever experienced this and its really strange but for some reason after eating my urine is a strange cloudy colour, it only happens once after a meal then it returns to normal.

anyways if anyone has any advice for me before I return to my DR to plead my case again i'd appreiate it

Thanks ;)

Have you tried a trial of a gluten-free diet for a month or 2 to see if it helps? It was the only way my celiac disease was discovered. I knew within a couple days that was my problem. Also did he do the tTg blood test? Although not perfect it picks up more of us than the iGa or iGg.

Which blood tests did they do? Did they do the tTg? Remember there are many false negatives on the blood tests.

I would suggest you see both a gastointestinal specialist and a neurologist. Hopefully that route will lead you to some help. You also might see a naturopathic doctor. They have a lot to offer.

Don't let doctors tell you what you don't have. Claire

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
