more good news!  I had my MRCP, pelvic and abdomen MRIs all come back normal!  The tech told it me it was one for the books because since there were three separate ones, I laid on the exam table for 2.5 hours, but the most important thing was she said the pictures turned out great.  My capsule was done yesterday, so I should have the results of that this coming week.  My cold has turned into allergies...might have been that all along because finally spring has come to the Northeast!

 

Happy Weekend  :D

yesterday was my follow-up GI appointment, and it went really well!  He reviewed that my MRIs and small bowel series were all normal, and then came the capsule.  He said he didn't see any blunting, but he did find an ulcer in the ileum and he said there could have been more but it was all dependent on how the capsule moved.  

 

When it comes to the pancreatic insufficiency diagnosis, I know that the MRIs would have shown Crohn's, so that was ruled out and I never have an urgent need to use the restroom anyway, pancreatitis was ruled out through the MRIs, everything else was ruled out except celiac, so I finally got doctor diagnosed with celiac disease.  Out of all the causes for pancreatic insufficiency, celiac is the best one since it means my system just needs a jump start!  I'm picking up my prescription for Creon later today, and I'm hoping this will be the final step to say goodbye bloating and stool sticking to the toilet!!  I'm supposed to be following up in 3-6 months to be retested for fat malabsorption, fecal elastase and the celiac antibodies.  

 

I'm so glad I found this site because if I would have listened to my GI last year when he seemed to think that positive DGP IgG test wasn't a big deal, I would still be eating gluten and probably feeling much worse!  Now he knows differently, and I did say at the end of my appointment yesterday how appreciative and thankful I am that he listens to what I have to say and takes it into consideration.  I realize that is a rarity for doctors, and I'm extremely grateful!

 

Happy Easter all, and thank you  :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
