Tiffany,
My second thought about this is to have your doctor check your b cell count. My husband actually has CVID (common variable immuno deficiency) which means his immune system is compromised & the symptoms are similar to celiac disease. Because his correct diagnosis was delayed he has a great many health problems, extremely low bone density, lung, liver & digestive tract problems to name just a few.
The test for b cell count is a simple, inexpensive blood test but CVID goes undiagnosed quite often because it is somewhat uncommon. {makes you wonder why they call it COMMON variable immuno deficiency, doesn't it!?]
If you remember David, the boy in the bubble back in the 70's you will get a better idea of what I'm referring to, his case was extreme in that both his b cells & his t cells were nonexistent.
Anyway, I hope all goes well for you.
Jo
