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....

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
