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.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
