Should I Get Some Other Tests

Ok thyroid labs are completely normal. I don't have my most recent available but I know they were right were they had to be. Testosterone was way low. Going to discuss with doc next week. I'm still having odd issues though.

Bowel Troubles are stills pretty constant

I get burning and nausea in the gut

dizziness (almost to the point that it makes me feel like falling over)

sweating

fatigue (which I put up to the Low T)

I'm not losing weight but I'm also not gaining (thank god)

I also have low vitamin d. I've been taking 5000 IU every night.

Any suggestions as to what else could be going on here.

I had a colonoscopy, no crohns or uc. Had the celiac blood test done, came back negative with I think the Gluten Giladian IgG or IgA (i forget which ones) be Tentative at 11 which was the slightest elevated.

Liver Panel was fine, nothing showed up on my Abdominal and Pelvic Ultrasound.

Any suggestions as to any other testing or could it be stress. I'm not really worried these days as much as annoyed as I want to feel better.

Hi Scotty,

The sweating could be an indicator of infection or inflammation. I used to sweat a lot especially when sleeping at night. Ongoing irritation in the gut can cause that IMHO. That kind of irritation can be caused by food intolerances (as it was for me), or parasites, or Crohns or UC which are already ruled out. The answer for me was changing my diet. Diet made a huge difference for me but it took me years to figure out the problem foods and eliminate them. New ones seemed to crop up over time. So that's where I would tend to look first, is diet. Doctors aren't much help with that.

You might want to study out any other nutrients you need. If you are not absorbing D well, what about B? Many of us are low in magnesium, iron, and B vitamins. I am planning to do a blood test for nutrients. Spectra -Cell is one test that measures for nutrients.

The low T may be related to the low D.....obviously the dose you are taking is not working. Need more, or more sun.

Ask to be tested for small intestine bacterial overgrowth(SIBO). If you have bad bacteria in your upper intestine it can rob the nutrients from your body, causing malabsorption of some of them. They can also emit toxins into your system as they feed, causing reactions like dizziness and night sweats. Did you get an endoscope done to see how your villi look?

You may be Celiac, or at least gluten intolerant? If Celiac blood tests show up negative, try strict gluten-free anyway for at least 3 months. You could have an intolerance which hasn't progressed enough to show in the bloodwork and there's also a 20-30% false negative with blood tests.

For the nausea..have you had a HIDA scan? It tests how your gallbladder is functioning. This is different from an ultrasound which checks for gallstones. If your gallbladder isn't functioning at a normal rate, your pancreas may not be releasing the digestive enzymes you need either? They both get their signal from CCK, a hormone made in the duodenum. If you have damage to this area from SIBO, Celiac, or dairy/soy or other intolerance either the hormone may not be made..or may not be sent to signal those two organs to "do their thing".

If you have taken acid blockers, SIBO is more likely. Adding probiotics and digestive enzymes could help you out a lot.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
