tennisman replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I did about 5 urine tests last year and all had traces of blood , my gastro doctor thinks I have kidney stones . I did also read a vitamin k deficiency can cause traces of blood in the urine and my GP doctor told me sometimes celiac's have a vitamin k deficiency . -

It's not fun is it , sorry it took you so long to get diagnosed . You should start to absord better once your villi have healed . Do you think vitamin injections would help you absorb ? That's good you can start exercising again hopefully you will be running the marathons again soon . Sorry about your job and your wife . I feel like a write myself off... -
ARCHIVED Don't Know What To Do ?

I will ask my doctor about B vitamins , I see some gluten-free products I get on prescription from Juvela have vitamin B added too them but I don't get the products much only a couple every 6 weeks . I have cut alcohol out for a while before but it didn't make any difference really . I have done a few elimination diets with the dietcian and potatoes was something... -

I think my anxiety is probably worse than my depression , I think the depression is probably due to all the ongoing health problems I have but the anxiety could be caused by a few things .

So it's more the tests being done wrong than not being accurate . celiac disease causes inflammation and villi damage I just don't get how doctors could miss it . I'm from england maybe we have better testing over here my old doctor boasted about how he had performed over 5000 endoscopy's I also hear patients told to start a gluten-free diet before the endoscopy...

The biopsy results are 99.9 % accurate that's what I have been told by several nurses . I don't get how any celiac could have negative biopsy tests unless the doctor don't do the test right . Lately I read cross contamination or a coin sized amount of gluten can will cause damage to the villi for 6 months , so if people have eaten gluten there whole life...

tennisman replied to Coolclimates's topic in Publications & Publicity
The problem is the gluten-free diet has more awareness these days but it should be celiac disease getting the awareness . It's just about profit the gluten-free diet they don't really care about us who suffer from the disease . I blame the gluten-free fad , there was an article on here a while back about celebrities going gluten free and we all know these... -

ARCHIVED Have These Tests Been Helpful For You?
tennisman replied to PossiblyCeliac?'s topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had to have an endoscopy after my blood test was positive , the endoscopy confirmed I have celiac disease . So if you think you have celiac disease endoscopy is worth having . Not a nice test but still worth doing . -
