Well, the dr. said that just by looking everything looked totally normal with Jack. He did say that there was still quite a bit of stool left inside of him even after the enemas from yesterday so he feels that his problem could be constipation with diarrhea overflow. Has anyone ever heard of that? Would that cause blood in the stool as well as lack of weight gain? He has an appetite usually and eats quite well, so he really shouldn't be losing/maintaining.

We don't yet have the results of the malabsorption test or the blood panel, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. His dr. wants to see him again next Tuesday. He should have biopsy results by then as well.

Jack is doing pretty well although he is wobbly on his feet. It was probably harder on dh and I to have to leave him before the procedure.

I just wanted to update.

      It's on this site.  Click in my name.  Look for the pull down menu that says "Activities" and chose "blog".  Oh, there's the link!

      It's part of the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  Yes, I lost weight, too.  We can use up our B vitamins quickly when we're ill.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost.  Supplementing can help ensure we're getting the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to function well.  Many vitamins can be low in the newly diagnosed.  Vitamin D can also be low.  Minerals like iron and magnesium can be low, too.  You'll feel better once you restore the nutrients.

      Thank you so much for your response kitty that is helpful to hold in mind. I am also doing a review on lived experiences of coeliac disease so your blog would be incredibly valuable for me to review, please can I have the link to it?

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      @Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain.  Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle.   I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too.  I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L.  Mine was in the single digits.  I had been in declining health for years without answers.  I had developed hormone problems and clinical depression among other symptoms.  I corrected my Vitamin D deficiency with high doses to get my level up quickly.  Yes, it's safe.  Here's some studies done on high dose Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30611908/ My Vitamin D deficiency was just the tip of the deficiency iceberg.  I was deficient in the B vitamins, too.  Celiac Malabsorption affects all the vitamins and minerals, not just one.  Here are some articles about how the B vitamins and even Vitamin D help lower anxiety... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33848753/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156551/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35851507/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/
