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.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
