Hello. Let me begin with my story. Just a warning, it might take a little while to read.
It all began on February 28, 2011. It was like any other day. I had breakfast, went to school, ate lunch, came home, had a small bowl of ice cream and watched some TV. However, at supper time everything changed. My dad and I decided to go out to eat at a local restaurant. I was feeling fine, but as soon as I walked in and smelled all the food, I instantly became nauseous. I ran to the bathroom thinking I was gonna throw up, but nothing happened. I sat there feeling nauseous while my dad ate his food. When I got home I ran to the bathroom, because I still felt like I was gonna puke my guts out. Again, nothing happened. For the next four days I was so sick that I couldn't eat or drink ANYTHING. I lost over 8 pounds in those 4 days, which put me below 100 pounds. On the 5th day I went to my family doctor. The doctor took some blood for testing and checked my abdomen out. He said, "You most likely have acid reflux. Take this medicine and go home." I was so surprised at his care-free attitude.
The next day, I was still sick, so my mom took me to the ER. They had to hook me up to an IV since I was so dehydrated. After some x-rays they said, "We don't se anything wrong." They sent me home.
Two days later, I had to take another trip to the ER, this time we went to a different one. They hooked me up to an IV because I was dehydrated again. They took some x-rays and said, "Your really constipated. Try some laxatives at home." I went home, took laxatives, and had a bowel movement. However, I was still nauseous!
Fast forward a couple months: I went and got an upper-GI scope & stomach biopsy done. Everything came back normal.
In May 2012, I finally went to an alternative doctor who almost immediately order a blood test to be done. She wanted to test for allergies. When the results came back I was amazed. I had several food allergies and Celiac Disease. I slowly weaned myself of gluten, because I didn't want to upset my body by getting rid of it too quickly.
To this day I still have nausea, mild to severe, and the doctor has no clue why. She is still trying to figure it out. Well, that's my story, I tried to make it as short as possible.

Here is a list of my current symptoms:
Nausea (mild-severe, get it almost every day no matter what food I eat, I do take some anti-nausea medications to help)
Headaches/Migraines(can last from 30 minutes to 1 week, pain ranges in severity)
Fatigue
Unexplained Weight Loss (went from 118 pounds to 92 pounds, made it back to 98 pounds but can't seem to gain anymore than that)
Chronic Constipation (I always had trouble with this as a kid, but it wasn't as severe as it is now. I currently take laxatives once a week, if I didn't I wouldn't have a bowel movement for more than 3 weeks)
Eczema (I've had it since I was very young. I read that this can be a symptom of Celiac?)

Can Celiac Disease cause all these symptoms I'm experiencing? I've never heard of somebody with Celiac that has constant nausea before. Could it truly be Celiac or is it something else?

Any Ideas, Tips, Websites, etc. would be very welcome! Thanks.View Thread

Posted by keydis10

Hello Everyone,

so I am attempting to seek some further information. Here, is the overview of my health situation, at moment.

Jan 2012: Test results showed low b12 (147ng). Doctor did not recognize it suffered depression, anxiety, insomnia, pains, fatigue; cramps; numbness; tingling, migraines, ear pressure, head pressure, temple pain.

July 2012: Nuerologist sees low-b12 and tells me to take sublingual b-12 (1,000mcg). Do so with slight improvement.

Aug 2012: See family doctor and b-12 shots are administered (1,000mg cyncobalamin). All seems to work successfully for all other symptoms but see feeling neck pain; soreness left temple; slight fatigue; afternoon lethargy; and sporadic light constant pain and numbness near left eyebrown to cheekbone. No other nuerological symptoms compared to from Jan-July.

October 2012: Will take sublingual b-12 methly-cobalamin (1,000mcg-5000mcg daily) in addition to b-12 injection (1,000mcg) once-to-twice per week.

This where I have the question, is it simply b-12 (I do not have anemia) or is it low D, my high calcium, and Celiac diesease, as well?

Test Results Sept/Oct 2012:

Vitamin D: 32
Calcium (serum): 10.7 and in October 9.7
Positive Celiac Disease

1. Should I be taking a vitamin D supplement, as well?
2. Should I get my parathyroid check? Do symptoms point to hyperparathyroid?
3. How should I handle my Celiac and the deficiencies?

More information:
age: 28/female
prior active, non-smoker, non-drinker, was vegetarian for 7-years and did not eat dairy besides goat milk.
Diagnosis of Celiac Fall 2011
Never on any medications. Currently not on any medications. Did take Nexium for 2-years sporadically for GERD.
No other health issues.

Attempting to figure out the remaining symptoms: left temple pain; letharg (afternoon especially); facial pain slight mostly by top of eyebrows to cheeckbone; slight facial numbness/tingling/sensitivity.

Any assistance would be so very appreciated! CheersView Thread
