Hello everyone. I am a little down tonigh. I had a couple of good days near the end of this past week. I even had an appetite for the first timein months. That all ended yesterday (Sunday) morning. I had diarrhea when I woke up and I have pretty much had it since. It's MOnday nioght now and I keep getting struck with diarrhea. The only good part is that I am not in a lot of pain with it (while going or after going), but the need to go when I get hit has been extremely urgent. I have had some close calls! :(

Walter,

Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. "D" is never fun. I know I have had some close calls too, some too close for comfort. Hope you are feeling better.

That's great that you've had some good days. I'm sorry you've gotten hit with something again. Those close calls are horrible.

Dear Walter,

I can relate to the close calls, too. I had one of those the other day. :( Have you tried taking anything for it? Ammodium AD is mentioned frequently on here. I hope you can start having more good days, soon.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Hi Walter, sorry you are not feeling good.

I can relate to that also. Can you take any mediction for the D, and you tolerate rice or apples or bananas, this is what the doctor tell us to give to the kids.

I hope you feel better, hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Best regards to you.

I'm sorry to hear you don't get that many good days. Its taking me about two years now to figure out its just not gluten that bothers me. I remember reading one of your posts where you got sick and thinking its got to be something other then gluten since you seem to be so careful.

Hope you feel better soon. Maybe eat those same foods you ate during those two good food days again to see if you get the same results and add other foods alittle at a time and record the results.

Thanks everyone. I'm doing a little better. There have been a couple days here and there when my appetite is back and I am hungry- that hasn't happened in ages. On those days I eat a little bit more. Not a ton of food, just a little more, and I tend to get very bloated and sick forn that tiny bit of extra food. It's annoyinh, I just have to stick to small bland portions still if I want to function. I'll be taking my class on a field trip on June 11th. I have absolutley NO IDEA what to do about bathroom stuff on that day! I may not eat the night before or the day of! Any suggestions to help with that?

Walter:

Do a food journal, you're a teacher it should not be an issue.

Get one of those ugly composition books and do a daily journal. One page do breakfast, lunch and dinner...snacks included. Every page is a daily entry.

That is the best I know..to help you get to the root of your issues.

See what happens.

Dear Walter,

I would definitely go with the others' suggestions here. Ammodium would be a good insurance policy against the runs. Plus, as bluejeangirl and Momma Goose mentioned, a food journal would be a smart move. You can do a rotation diet to see what you react badly to. Then, you can eliminate what you cannot tolerate. Sometimes, when we eat foods with a lot of ingredients, we have no idea what our system is reacting to. That complicates matters quite a bit.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Lots of tests

      By Suzi374 · Posted

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.

      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.
