so once again i get a negative result!!!

 

not sure how long i can cope with all this .im so fed up at the moment. i dont have lupus but my blood sugar is a tiny bit high ( the nurse said its hardly worth commenting on)- but they are gonna do a diabetes test anyway. my b 12 is low so ive got some tablets to take. when the doc was looking at the computer i was having a sneaky read - my b12 was 138!! i thought that was really low- so now im taking tablets for 3 months with no way of knowing if they are being absorbed or not.

she has said that shes refered me to a dermatologist for the rashes which is good- hopefully i,ll get some answers from them.

i did think i saw a few abnormals on the test results when i was having a sneaky peek so im gonna ring up tomorrow and ask for copies and copies of the last one that had the celiac tests on. that should be interesting to see exactly which tests they did.

 

so ive had my moan lol. hope i get some answers soon..

I'm glad to hear that it is not Lupus.

 

There is enough evidence to show that gluten is "more complex" for the human digestive track and that auto-immune disorders do better on a gluten free diet.When your testing is complete, try a gluten free diet.  If you feel better not eating gluten, then don't eat it.  Your body's reaction is a "scientific" proof.  (You will unfortunately have an accidental glutening that may prove this.)

Low B12 can really mess with your nervous system and more. Hopefully the tablets you are taking are sublingual. Sublinguals are absorbed by the mucus membranes in your mouth and bypass a damaged gut. Hope you get some answers soon and once your celiac testing is finished be sure to give the diet a good strict try for a bit.

Celiac can mimic lupus, there are a handful of us around here who thought we had it because our symptoms were the same. Luckily, if it is celiac disease, our symptoms will improve over time (years). It's toughto have no diagnosis because we aren't given meds to treat symptoms in the short term, but at least we have the potential to get better in the long run.

 

I hope you feel well soon.

hi thanks for answering

 

i am doing gluten free - since january. i felt fantastic at first then other symptoms kicked in. gave up dairy, soya and nightshades. but any testing i had done was all negative. i still have joint pain and so tired. but now im b12 deficient im now thinking that all my problems are down to that and maybe im not gluten intolerant at all. this not having a diagnosis is really getting to me. i did get my results off the doctor but theres only one test been done. dont know if you know anything about the tests but here's what was done.

. iga level       0.7          u/ml       (<6.9 u)        nk         normal

oh forgot to mention that ive started to "grow" lumps on my middle knuckle of my middle finger. worst on my right hand but my left is starting to go the same way. thats why the doctor tested me for auto immune disease. but the only thing they,ve found is the low b12- dont know if the knuckle thing could be coz of that ?

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
