I tried starting a new job a few days ago.. but i just felt too crappy to continue it...

I'm literally going to try to find a job that is the least physically demanding one out there for now...  I've even though about getting a D License for Security work..... so i can just sit around most of the day. 😂

Hang in there.  It does get better, but it takes time.  😊
 

Glad you are seeing a nutritionist!  Sorry about the job.  But take this time to build up a little endurance.  I walked after my diagnosis.  I had no option as I had some new back fractures.  i also had some severe anemia (low hemoglobin) which could have led to heart issues.  I was so bummed that I could not ride my bike or run.  But with time....yes, time, I was back on my bike and running too.

Hi DFL,

One month is a great start! :)   We all start sometime.  I remember I didn't feel great for the first 6 months (more actually).  But things did improve.  If you can avoid the gluten-free junk foods and such healing will got faster IMHO.

Remember it took time for the damage to occur and it takes time for it to heal.  So learning patience with our bodies is a thing for sure.

Supplements are generally a good thing but not an instant cure-all.  A damaged gut with dysbiosis is not ideal for absorbing nutrients or supplements.  But some absorption is better than none.

I don't suggest any strenuous exercise while you are in the early stages of recovery.  Your body needs energy and nutrients to heal and those can be in short supply right now.

Minerals are important so maybe try a multi-mineral supplement too.  Something like this Swanson product would be good, although anything similar should work.  I can tell you I had symptoms until I took selenium and boron in my supplements.  But we are different so YMMV.

Congratulations on the one month! I hope the nutritionist gives you some hints and guidance to help you accomplish your employment goals sooner than later.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
