Liver Function and Celiac

My doctor has argued that I have gall bladder problems with high AST and ALT's.  I am doing my own research and with elevated AST and ALT shouldn't celiac disease be considered?

MLiz I don't want you to think that you are being ignored this question is just a bit over most of our heads as we are patients/loved ones of HepC mostly around here.

I think there is a GI forum they might know more about Celiac and gallbladders and stuff but I know that having gallbladder problems can raise your liver enzymes.....

I hope someone has the answers for you I'm just not really all that smart!

BEST of luck!

I thought I had celiac disease for 7 years because I reacted to anything with gluten.  It turns out that all my severe GI symptoms were caused by Toporol XL and Cozaar.  No doctor figured it out. I stopped cold turkey and was well at last!  If you are taking lots of drugs, perhaps they are causing your symptoms.  The celiac test is a blood test, get it. I'm still sensitive to wheat but in a mild way compared to the torture I went through for 7 years.
Good Luck!
