Not Many Symptoms

Do any of you have celiac without many symptoms? I had positive tgg iga and igg and am awaiting an endoscopy. I have bloating, fatigue, but that's really about it. I'm wondering if my biopsy will even show anything since i don't have many symptoms. Thanks

You might be lucky and caught it before it flattens you.

Actually the number of symptoms doesn't seem to correlate with positive biopsies. Many people never knew they had Celiac at all due to having no symptoms but their biopsy came up positive. There is something called Silent Celiac where no symptoms are felt subjectively by the person with Celiac, yet they have the damage consistent with Celiac.

Other people have all kinds of symptoms and yet they test negative...go figure.

Sometimes, after you have been on a gluten free diet for awhile, then accidentally eat the stuff, you have so many symptoms, you wondered how it is that the rest of the world managed to convince you that feeling "this lousy" is "normal."

Thanks for your input. Maybe i do feel symptoms sometimes and i just don't relate them to gluten. This afternoon i felt like just crap. So tired, headache, foggy. And i did have a bunch of wheat thins with lunch so maybe it was related.

I never had GI symptoms except for the three days before I went to the doctor. I was waking up in the middle of the night with terrible abdominal pains, but other than that - nothing. Battled with anemia, syncope, and acid reflux for a while, but I never knew it had anything to do with the Celiac until after I was diagnosed. I was able to basically eat anything with no apparent issues and had no idea that my insides were being torn up. HOWEVER, now that I'm gluten free, I've become pretty sensitive to gluten and got terribly sick after eating gluten free gummy bears that were made in a facility that also processed wheat....go figure - NOW I have issues! :)

However, I had no odvious GI damage (outside of a damaged throat due to GERD).

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
