Thanks,

Thanks for the replies. It is actually my husband who has the slighlty enlarged spleen. It showed up on his U/S from this week. It said slightly enlarged. The GI didn't seem concerned, he has not had mono, but he is still undx. I thought I had read that gallbladder, pancreas, & spleen issuse are related to Celiac and Gluten Intolerance. Just one more thing to add to the list of symptoms. Thanks again for the replies.

Mine is. It was found during a CAT scan. Nobody seemed overly concerned about it.

Hi jennifer,

My daughter had swollen glands all over her body, with extreme aches, high fevers, nausea, and vomitting. After a miraid of tests she came up with an extreme case of Epstien Barr (mono). She had a sonogram and a cat scan with barium. Her liver and spleen were both very swollen and all the liver enzymes were off. It is impotant to be very careful with a swollen spleen, because if it he gets hit in the stomach or falls on that area, the spleen can burst.

Take care of him, and I hope he feels better soon,

Wendy

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
