I was DX with celiac in 2009 (undiagnosed for 30 yrs) then in 2010 fNHL was found in colon during colonoscopy. PET scan showed it had spread to most of my body from ribs down. In 2011 After chemo and 3 month follow up testing it had returned in more aggressive form of DLBC lymphoma In my pancreas. Chemo again and radiation beat it back. I was wondering if anyone else around these boards had similar problems.

Hi Fran and Welcome!

 

It seems to me that the longer one goes un-diagnosed, the more damage does not reverse and the body does not completely recover.  I have cancer also, Metastatic Melanoma, diagnosed just 5 months after Celiac Diagnosis and also 4 AI Diseases diagnosed before Celiac diagnosis and 1 more diagnosed after Celiac and Cancer.  Things seem to keep going downhill at this point.  My AI system seems to always be flaring now.  I have Angina and COPD, arteries are thickening and my quality of life has gone to s$#&.  I also have granulomas growing on internal organs and more growing faster on my thyroid.  I've had surgeries and immunotherapy treatments with my Cancer and just can't seem to get to a point where I feel good and have kinda given up ever feeling good again.  When our health goes its gets depressing and exhausting and its a whole other fight to stay positive.  I have had to give up a lot of activities but have  picked up a few, like painting that are not so exerting.  

 

Just keep doing your best  :D , that's all we can do.

 

Wishing you well,  Colleen

Fran and Colleen are the type of people who inspire so much inspiration and courage when we hear of your struggles. I went a long time undiagnosed also and ended up with 4 AI diseases but they pale in comparison with what you both deal with on a daily basis. Just keep on swinging that bat and don't give in! I hope 2015 is an uplifting and healthier year for you both!

She's on my list !!!  So excied  :D .  This is the good stuff in life that makes the rest tolerable.  I walked 2 miles today, had a long break between the two and 1 mile was more of a stroll, but it felt great !!!  Ya-Ya's  ;)

Colleen my dance with C pales in comparison with your on going fight. It is hard to keep that smile going at times. Glad you are going on vacation and hope you have a blast even if it is a slow stroll. Thanks everyone for your kind words. All of you have to keep putting one foot in front of the other to get to the other side when dealing with celiac and all is baggage.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
