Question 1

does celiac disease cause blurry vision?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally: Celiac disease (crohns) has been associated with poor absorption of vitamin a (nightblindness) and some reports of retinal vessel blockage. It should be evaluate by an ophthalmogist.

Question 2

what causes low vitamin d besides no sunlight and celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Poor diet: Inadequate dietary intake can also cause low intake. Milk is supplemented with vitamin d and is a good source of vitamin d. Try eating foods that are high  in vitamin d or take a vitamin d3 and calcium supplement that has at least 400 iu of d3 and 1000-1200 mg of calcium.

Question 3

can celiac disease cause random nausea?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things do: Your nausea may have little to do with the gut.  Biliary ; pancreatic disease may be present. Gas/bloat syndrome?  Consider "central" causes like: motion sickness, vertigo, migraine headache, brain problems (some very serious).  Also, rule out infection (? Urinary tract), food poisoning, medication side effects, pregnancy, ; even stress. Yes, celiac disease may contribute, but best get checked.

Question 4

can celiac disease cause sun sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, but...: People who manage their diet to avoid gluten may risk becoming deficient in a variety of necessary nutrients. It's possible to learn how to have a varied, full range of foods, but it takes time and interest. Sun-sensitivity  is a symptom of pellagra (a Niacin (vitamin b3) deficiency). It can be quite serious so eat  tuna, salmon, or ground beef if you can, or snack on peanuts daily.

Question 5

how does celiac disease cause nutrient absorption?

Accepted Answer

Harms sm. intestine: Celiac disease leads to inflammation and damage of the lining of the small intestine, which causes decreased absorption of nutrients, vitamins, iron, etc... The intestinal lining loses its microscopic "villi", which are tiny protrusions that maximize the absorptive surface area needed to absorb nutrients. A patient gets diarrhea, anemia, lactose intolerance, tummy aches, irritable bowels, etc...

Question 6

can gluten cause migraines without celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

No proof: Lots of claims re: gluten, but less data. People don't eat gluten, they eat gluten containing foods-grains. These can be variously prepared; this can be a factor in getting headaches (among others).

Question 7

what can be taken for extreme nausea with celiac disease and what causes the nausea?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Nausea is not a symptom of Celiac disease but may be one associated with migraine or other causes.  It appears that you do have a lot of bowel issues, and thus may need to consider other causes for your nausea as well. Have you discussed your problem with your GI doctor?

Question 8

help please! could celiac disease cause gastritis in stomach?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: I have seen many patients with celiac disease that have inflammation in other parts of their upper GI tract (i.e. esophagus or stomach). The key would be to start by going gluten free and see if symptoms resolve. If they do not, your doctor may consider another endoscopy to see how your stomach is doing.

Question 9

does celiac disease cause chronic pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Celiac disease can cause both abdominal and pelvic pain.  It is very important that you are evaluated by your physician.  It is possible that you might have something else going on that is causing your pelvic pain.

Question 10

could my hyperthyroidism have caused my celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Thyroid disease and celiac disease are both disorders of the immune system, so they may be related in some way. However, one disease probably does not cause the other.
