Hey there!!!

I had the barium enema today....I was actually feeling quite good yesterday and this morning because I wasn't allowed to eat for over 24 hours... I had to take klean prep to get my system cleared out... it was tough to drink that garb especially 4 litres but I think i definitly needed that after the lack of bowel movements i've been having for the last year....

anyways this morning at about 930 after my appointment i ate a sandwitch then at 2:00pm half a sandwitch and its starting all over again i'm nervous and having really bad hunger pains, my stomach is rumbling and crampy, I feel a little out of it and shakey....

I'm becoming convinced more and more that i do have celiac or an intolerance... i was completly fine all day yesterday and for the early part of today...

i booked an appointment with my Gi on the 27th... and i'm going to run this by him... he's convinced i don't have celiac disease and is not interested in investigating an intolerance at all..... he says i already had the screening and it was negative.... i only had 2 of the antibodies run .... so with any luck he'll put me out of my misery and order a full panel... i don't know him well at all so i don't know how is going to react to this whole conversation.. cause we all know drs don't like people telling them anything or second guessing them... so wish me luck..

any advice is more than welcome

this website and the people i've met here has been a god send!!!

I never understood why doctors just cant run the full tests. I mean you or your insurance is paying for it.......whats it to them. I swear sometimes doc's want you to stay sick so they can keep up a good business...maybe I am a lil bit paranoid but gosh.

I asked my to run a blood panel my reg. doc I was pretty surprised when they called back and said it is ready to pick up...now I am just hoping he did the full 5 panel test. :rolleyes:

Hey Melisadki:

well thank god i don't have to pay for much living in canada we are lucky to have ohip....

I was in touch with the canadian celiac association today... i asked them for solid information about which antibodies should be run to complete the full panel and they suprisingly had no idea what i was talking about... i went on to explain that i was told on this site that there was 5 antibodies and i was only screened for 2 of them... she told me i couldn't use information off this site cause its american and their screening differs from ours....... she said i had to have a biopsy of my bowel???

i really don't think she knew what she was talking about....

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health. Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption. Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms. Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming...

I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
