ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge And Awful Symptoms
Megan1980 replied to Megan1980's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Oh, I also should have said, to Ravenwoodglass, my B12 was normal. It was also normal last year when tested but the folate was super high. I asked my doctor what that meant and she said "I don't know" and left the office. This year when tested the B12 was about the same but they've changed levels for folate so I'm not sure if it's okay now. It still looks... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge And Awful Symptoms
Megan1980 replied to Megan1980's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for all your comments and advice. I had many symptoms suggestive of thyroid issues so I got those antibody tests too. All my panels came back negative. I believe I got the full celiac, including the IGA deficiency or whatever that is, the test to see if you even have enough of the stuff to make it show up. My score was slightly higher than the... -
ARCHIVED Anemia/vitamin Deficiency Without Villi Damage?

ARCHIVED Should I Re-Test?

I'm in a similar situation, having lots of symptoms but every test comes back negative. The only thing that's shown up for me is low vitamin D and low ferritin, which seems odd since I've been taking high quality vitamin D3 supplements for years. The low ferritin was surprising because I cook with a cast-iron skillet and eat iron-rich foods, often with... -
ARCHIVED Can Constipation Be A Symptom Of Celiac?
Megan1980 replied to jwblue's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My older sister says when she went gluten-free she actually went at least once a day instead of every couple of days or more. She has the gene or genes for celiac but has never had a positive test. -

Hello, I hope this makes sense but my brain is pretty fuzzy right now. I'm trying to be as brief as possible, but I don't want to leave out any important details, so I apologize if it seems too long and detailed. Celiac runs in my family. I have the genes for it (tested 5 yrs. ago) but was told I didn't have it at the time, but could develop it later...
