Does It Ever Stop

Ok so Wednesday night I had to call out of work to go to the ER. My CT show I have an enlarged spleen and liver. But my enzymes did not show anything too whacked out. But something caused me quite literal knee dropping pain. Last Friday I had to go to the Dr.'s for a case of rhino sinusitis, and was prescribed Flonase, prednisone and amoxicillin. My Dr. Did look into all three to ensure they was safe for me. My question is has anyone here had experience with this? I have been extreme safe and strict on avoiding gluten, but right now I'm terrified, on the other hand today marks my one year anniversary since diagnosis. So I thought I should be a lot better by now. Any words of encouragement is welcome as I am disappointed and flipping out.

Thanks always,

A very sad scared serielda

Aww...I'm so sorry. ((((Hugs))))

I don't have experience with what's going on with you but I understand your frustration. Another celiac and I have a couple of acronyms we use for all of this. WWIEE (when will it ever end) and IAS (it's always something). It definitely does feel like that at times...and when I walked out of my Dr's office with my diagnosis almost 16 months ago I really thought I'd be better quickly.

So, I try to remind myself of the things that have improved. Like I don't have D 10-20 times a day anymore. I'm not getting weaker every day, etc.

But I do get your fear and frustration. Please do vent and share as it may help to get it out.

Hugs again!

So sorry you are having these problems. I hope your doctor is following up on the liver and spleen enlargement. I wish I could be more helpful but will keep you in my thoughts.

Hi Serieda,

 

I'm so sorry you're not feeling good. Sending hugs and prayers to you!! Do you feel like you're getting gluten from the medication? Did you call the pharm companies yourself? I always call personally.. I wouldn't trust anyone to check for me and I have gotten CC from medications before that claim they are gluten free.  :(

 

As for the enlarged spleen and liver, I never had issues with them, but I have had enlarged lymph nodes andd kidneys when I get gluten in my system. Maybe it's the same kind of inflammatory response? I wish I could be more helpful... I would just double check everything especially since you're so strict on the diet. It's sounds like you got glutened by something. I know for me every time I'm sick and have health problems, it's always and I mean always because of gluten sneaking in and I'm very strict and careful..

 

I hope you feel better soon! ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?
