Maddi replied to Maddi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm back you guys. If someone could help me. My dr ran the Celiac panel from LabCorp. I know the immunoglobulin A was like 200 something. The rest I can't remember. Well he told me he ran the IGM antibodies and that they're a bit high. Can this be at all related to Celiac? Or not at all? Sigh I'm lost. -

So the doctor wants me to come in to give me my results in person. I'm having mixed feelings about this. Could this mean that he's found something? I'm overwhelmed with excitement and fear. I have my appointment at 2:45. 2hours and 43 minutes from now. Yes, I'm counting. Months of suffering and I might just get my answer today. (: I'll update as soon as I... -
I went to a new doctor who ordered blood work for Celiac panel, wheat allergy, h.pylori, and hormone levels on Aug 13th. I called last Monday and was told I had to wait 10 business days, so I did... still no call. Today, I call again and she tells me that my results are not in my chart and that he might be waiting for me to go back for a followup visit to...

Oh and idk how I missed this but you mentioned people in your family having thyroid disease well all of my grandmother's family (her included, have thyroid disease! and my grandmother has ibs and she's 96 lbs but shorter than me). But no one in the family (that we know of) has Celiac... I don't know I'd they've been tested. But they say thyroid disease can... -

No problem! Bc I'm new to this I've been reading a lot about Celiac and they say that the gene is usually triggered by stress (virus, surgery, pregnancy, emotional). My symptoms got so much worse while dealing with my mom's health issues (everything turned out fine thankfully but I'm an only child and I had to do go through all the stress of thinking there... -

Oh and mood swings and changes seem to br soooooo common. I get sooooo angry over everything when I eat gluten. I feel as if I can't control my emotions. I used to be able to brush things off and when I eat gluten I just explode like a crazy person. /: but good news! If you have Celiac all that will go away with your gluten free diet! -

I know exactly what you mean. Never in my life have I ever been depressed or anxious. My anxiety is gone (3weeks gluten-free) but I'm still depressed mostly bc I just want to feel normal again. I want to gain weight and I realize it'll all take time but I'm desperate to just feel like myself again. (It's been so long since I've felt normal and not tired)... -

I'm not am expert by any means on this subject but like you I have a lot of your symptoms and I'm still waiting to get the call from my dr's office for my blood test results but from what I was told you can still get a blood test for Celiac since you've only been gluten free for a few days. Also, if you want an endoscopy you'll probably want to be on gluten... -

The NextMorning I woke feeling so absolutely horrible I thought I'd pass out. I had the most debilitating fatigue with a throbbing headache.

Thank you thank you! I guess I can't tolerate potatoes... maybe they're too acidic for my body right now. And I'm now sticking to only whole foods. Well I have my good days and bad. I'm not fatigued anymore but I do get tired or sleepy especially in the mornings and early afternoon.... by night time I'm awake but I'm able to fall asleep fairly quickly. (...

ARCHIVED Here Is My Story, What's Yours?
Maddi replied to learningtobreathe's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm still waiting for my blood test results. But I know that I have a problem with gluten. I've been sick with digestive issues for 2 years and then last year my tummy issues got worse with more bowel frequency (up to 6 times) BUT NOT D. Then this spring I started having pain in my tummy, severe anxiety, bad depression, lost weight, dry hair/skin, bone/joint... -

Lemme show you how proud I am to be yours. Leave this dress a mess on the floor and still look good for you.

I'm not a person that likes to take naps. I only like to sleep at night. So here I am fighting sleep most of the day.

Patience and discipline is something I'm just going to have to learn. Keeping a gluten-free diet isn't hard. It's everything else we have to avoid in the beginning that's so so hard when we're accustomed to eating so many processed foods. Even eliminating processed foods would be easier if I could have milk and eggs!!! All my life the only things I'd drink...

Thanks for the responses you guys. I guess when we're sick for a while we just want to get better really quickly. I guess I should just be thankful that my anxiety and my fatigue is gone. I'm going to try my best to keep a whole foods diet for now and hopefully little by little all of my symptoms will disappear. I say that my muscle aches and my joint pain...

I was going to say the same thing. I always leave my front load washer open for hours until it dries out and I'm actually in GA too!
