ARCHIVED Need Advice, Please!
turningleaf replied to Niks's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thyroid is critical. It acts as a regulator for so many things in the body including constipation, body temperature, etc. B12 is also critical and it seems different doctors have different views. On my labs, the normal B12 range is 200- 1400...this is a huge range. I asked my first family physician to give me B12 when my labs came back at 200 on the nose... -
I'm still learning, but believe it's similar to celiac. I wasn't looking for Crohns (don't feel like I have symptoms of it), but my doctor included something on my blood work that showed antibodies, similar to the celiac test, but these are specific to Crohns. I believe it takes a scope/biopsy to confirm. Are these new symptoms since your last scope? ...

ARCHIVED Kinda Of New To Forum
turningleaf replied to turningleaf's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
Thank you for the welcome and the information. This forum has proven invaluable already. I'm so glad to have found this group! -
How long am I considered "new" and need to go thru moderator approval?

Have either of you been tested for Crohns? I was just confirmed positive for Celiac and the doc mentioned that specific antibodies for Crohns are also elevated. I didn't want to believe...still don't want to consider it.... I thought it was ridiculous to think of having celiac and crohns, but as I have continued reading, apparently it's not that uncommon...

ARCHIVED Common For Ncgi People To Be Nutrient Defficient?
turningleaf replied to turningleaf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you! I'm very new to this forum. Is there a way to have email notification on responses or an easy way to return to the forum and find your own post/topics? I had to wait for my posts to be approved by a moderator and then find them again. I'm guessing there is an easier way. Thanks again -
ARCHIVED Common For Ncgi People To Be Nutrient Defficient?
turningleaf posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am iron, B12 and D3 deficient and living with a multitude of gluten related symptoms. I've been told that I'm 1 point away from being considered Celiac, but I haven't had biopsies or genetic testing. I've seen 2 different opinions - can you have Celiac and not have one of the 2 genes associated with the disease? Also, do you see the nutrient deficiencies... -
ARCHIVED Opt For Genetic Test?
turningleaf replied to SeekingSarah's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm new to this and trying to figure it all out....I didn't think you could have Celiac if you don't have at least 1 of the 2 genes. Where can I find more information on this? Thanks! I am definitely gluten intollerant by test and gluten-free diet, but I'm waiting for the genetic test to confirm. The TTG test appeared negative. The Gliadin test shows...
