A friend told me today of her neighbor who has uc. She mentioned that her neighbor is in very poor health recently from the uc. I was thinking it might be related to celiac disease. Is is? I didn't see it in the list of related disorders. Can someone clarify for me?

Ok, I've found some links... Nothing too definitive or clear for me to print out and offer any help. Is there a better site for this connection? If I can't find anything I feel comfortable sharing with the lady, I won't bother to even bring it up. I just felt really bad for her *I don't know her* listening to my friend talking about how she's doing very poorly and needs help with her children. If I thought celiac disease info or a gluten free diet could help, I'd go over armed with some info to at least let her decide what to do -or not do. Thanks for any info you come up with. Even if it's to let me know a gluten free diet doesn't help.

I know that microscopic colitis can be improved by avoiding gluten. I don't know for sure about UC - someone here on this list has it though... can't remember who. Sounds like a horrible disease though. I read a book, it was a collection of essays about friends who stopped being friends (you know how when a couple breaks up, people go through that process, but when best friends "break up" it's sort of different? and yet the same?) Anyway, one of the last essays was about someone who went through having UC and - forget the pun - it was a gut wrenching story. I was in tears - that is not something anyone would ever want to have.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's friend. That is a misery.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
