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....

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
