Gretchen,

Thank you for your well wishes and prayers, I do appreicate them more than you know. You will also be in my thoughts and prayers, I hope you find some answers and begin to feel better! :D

I wonder if my doc was checking the tests in my blood that you mentioned, they took 3 viles. I thought he was only checking my B-12, etc but I don't think they need 3 viles for that :blink:

BTW, CONGRATS on your wedding, I hope you are feeling great on your happy day!

Hi everybody! It's been awhile since I've been here. My Dad found out he had some clogged arteries, and had to have a quadruple bypass! I have a question, and am feeling too awful to search the 3 pages of threads that mention "Crohns disease". I had my GI appt today. Doc is suspecting crohns or colitis. I asked nicely and batted my eyelashes, so he wrote me a labslip to check for celiac disease too! THANK GOODNESS!!! Does anyone know of a cool crohns disease message board, with people as helpful as you all?? I would think crohns.com or even crohnsdisease.com would have some info, but they were just portals that led you to other things. :angry: Anybody have a suggestion for a good crohns message board?

I guess I have a second question. Ironically, I met my husband via a girl with crohns disease. She was my age and seemed to live at the hospital I was working at. She was there for 2-3 weeks at a time, at least once every 2 months - because of crohns disease. Is it really that bad? She did street drugs and took really crappy care of herself, so I'm hoping that's more the reason she was there. At this point in my life, a week or two in the hospital would be a welcomed vacation - but not every other month!!!! If I do have crohns, what can I expect? As far as like, medications, diet, feeling better, hospitalizations, etc..etc...

Thanks everybody!! *hugs and kisses*

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. 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.
