My Doctor Hadn't Even Heard Of Leaky Gut!

Why do I feel like my reality just gets invalidated over and over again. I wish these doctors would expand their thinking/knowledge base into the 21st century. It's so hard to work with. So I play the docile patient and go to the rheumatologist for no good reason in case I need some support from the system in case I get really sick. I know that they can't do anything for me except to stress my stressed system with more drugs.

I feel like I just screamed into a vacuum and no-one can hear me. Am I just imagining all of this or is it really happening.

That's frustrating.  I am often glad that I have my own brain.   I always like to get to the root of the problem, but discovered years back that most doctors don't.  I hope you can really work away at the roots of your problems, but mostly that you GET BETTER.

Thank you Diana. That's what I'm trying to do.

Your doctor hasn't heard of leaky gut? That's bologna! It may be he/she doesn't believe it has been proven within certain guidelines but you can't be in medicine today and not have heard of it. To a certain extent the gut is designed to leak, it's one way nutrients get from inside the gut to the rest of the body. Inflammation of the gut allows larger particles and unhealthy other stuff to cross between cells in the same way as fluids, bacteria and toxins. Malabsorption is a wide group of diseases that must be understood before getting any medical degree.

What you have is a passive aggressive doctor telling you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain pulling the levers and strings. Listen to the Great and Powerful, the All Knowing RheumOztologist blowing smoke up whatever you might have handy.

Sorry to be blunt but I call BS on that.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
