New And Lost

heya there. just registered. dunno if i do everything right.

ok, i start.

my best friend has been diagnosed with Celiac about two years ago but it seems it's a lot more than just that. it's all related but he's got so many diagnoses that he doesn't even know half of them.

he keeps going into anaphylactic shock. his bones are a bit fragilised, he's started to walk with difficulty.

now doctors say his chances to survive are extremly thin... :(

I keep checking out sites and books to get info, but i'm getting a bit lost... does anyone know why he's so screwed up and getting worse every single day?

If he is celiac and still consuming gluten even in trace amounts, he will continue to get sick. It could be that the damage before diagnosis was so severe that it was already too late to save him. It could also be that something entirely different is causing the decline. I am very sorry about your friend. I hope you get answers and peace with what is happening to him.

I will... tho i have no clue where this is going. i dont wanna see where it's going actually.

i dunno if his diet is totally gluten free... i guess it is.

docs keep running tests tho... they have this nasty habit to take so much blood out of him that he passes out. does anyone know what they're testing?

If he's actually going into anaphylactic shock that sounds like an allergy of some sort, not just celiac.

I have celiac and allergies, so he probably has both. It makes finding the culprits and eliminating them harder. I am glad he is starting to get better. Yes, I believe in prayer!!

I absolutely believe in prayers, and specific ones help. What is your friend's name and where does he live ? I would be glad to pray for answers and health for him. I know prayers made a tremendous difference for one of my boys that had very little hope for survival.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
