Stomach Still Bad, More Testing..

So after my not that long (but not that easy) midterm, I got home, relaxed for a bit, and went to the hospital @ 5:30 .. well it made me mad, because the nurse (who i've never seen before) checked my temp/blood pressure, asks whats wrong, I had to tell HER how to spell Celiac, and told me to wait .. and so I sat there for 45 minutes, and she comes back to the room and says the doctor wont be here til 7.

So i walked home, at 7 I went back, and got home around 9...

More bloodwork, more urine sample ...

This time, the bloodwork actually SHOWED something. He said that my white blood cell level is high, so I may have an infection of some sort (but the urine was normal)..

This was the other doc in town that i'd never seen before, so now I have seen them all :P

He said finish what I had from my last week's prescription, and take another strong antibiotic that supposed to help (for a week) .. gotta take it 3 times a day with food..

And then if that dont work, he'll get me scheduled for an ultrasound in Yorkton (but said waiting list will be around a month) :blink:

Blah I just want to feel bettterrrrr. :(

Hi Lisa--That does sound frustrating! It's terrible to do all the right things, see the doctor and still not get any real answers. Been there, and completely understand :( . I wish I could offer more, but its good that you're on something for the infection (be sure to finish all of it & take it on schedule). Let's hope that will take care of it, if not, they can do the ultrasound--but in the meantime, be good to yourself. I know you're busy with school, etc. but it's important to get as much rest as you can, eat well and get plenty of fluids. You must be about worn out from all of this! Keep in touch. :)

PS--It may be a good idea to take probiotics along with the antibiotics, if you aren't already, since you've been on them for a while now.

I am sorry! It is so furstrating to be sick with no cause! I hope you feel better soon! Def taking probiotics while you are on the antibiotics.

Lisa,

I feel really bad for you, I totally understand. This is my third year of college and I basically missed the first year because I always felt sick. I feel really bad for you.

This might help....

My doctor told me once, that having a high WBC count it shows that there is an inflamation somewhere but we dont know where. This was before I was diagnosed. To my understanding, if I get glutened my WBC count goes up because there is an inflamation in my body somewhere. You should go over the things that you have been eating to see if possibly you have been contaminated. You might be on all of these medications for no reason....and I know how much of a pain it is to take it regularly, plus the side affects are horrible.

I hope that you feel better soon, I have to take all of my midterms in about 3 weeks <_<

Hope that you did good. :)

Thanks guys. I dont think I did very well on the exam at all.

And you know, I was planning to study tonight, but I ended up falling asleep for 3 hours after taking my medication. :blink:

The one I am on, Clavulin, the main side effect is stomach pains (which I am definitely getting those side effects). So I dont even know the difference between my normal pains and these, only worse..

Thats my update..

Do you know for sure that this med is gluten free? Check with a pharmacist to be sure. It is surprising how many meds have gluten in them.

I've talked to both of my pharmasist, and they say theres nothing you could really do about it (because if I need it, I need it, and none of them have had any substitutes)..

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
