Hi - firstly having read what some people have to go through I feel for everyone in this condition.

I have felt a little crappy for about 18 month now and am trying to work out what it is - i have always suffered from quite bad IBS but since being given Ciprofloaxacin everything about my digestive system seems to have gone haywire - having googled the hell out of my symptoms Gluten intolerance keeps popping up.

So - first started to consider it after noticing whenever I have had a pizza my stomach or bread bloats like you wouldnt believe - i mean i look pregnant, I get a pain up my right side like im bloated, severe constipation which lasts until ive managed to get my self moving again with laxido or movicol which then switches to diarrhoea. All the time massive gas and noises from my stomach - eventually it feels heavy low down like im blocked up.

 

Mixed in with this ive got itchy skin and a sensation like pin pricks on my hands (not pins and needles but actual random pin pricks), I get spots on my hands like dots rather than spots that feel hard and like a splinter but they dont pop, they dont come to a head and eventually (days) they go away 

I have psoriasis which seems to get worse in fits and spats

My throught feels closed and I have to keep clearing my throat.

Oh and I get like a wierd rash on my face.

Oh and muscle aches and pains.

Question - does this all seem familiar or do some parts not fit the bill (so to speak). I know a lot of this sounds like anxiety also but ive read that the symptoms can be similar (all very confusing)

hope you guys can help (im adult male 48)

It could be celiac disease.  The only way to know for sure is to get tested before trying the gluten free diet (all celiac disease testing requires you to be on a full gluten diet.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
