Hey Other Sufferers! Diagnosis tomorrow


AlexanotlikeAmazon

Recommended Posts

AlexanotlikeAmazon Newbie

Hey there everyone! 
So I finally have my diagnosis TOMORROW! I’m 22 years old and feel like I’ve been dealing with this for 4 years now, but within the last year everything has got progressively worse. I guess I should’ve asked some of these questions months ago. But hey here we are...

Anyway, I had the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy done about two weeks ago, with stool samples, and biopsies. 

My question is: Has anyone who is diagnosed, experience these specific symptoms.

when I wake up I feel as if I’m hypoglycemic, my body is tingly, cold sweats (no matter how I dress myself when going to sleep) and then the urgency to go release a bowel movement (usually extremely oily, Diarrhea, or thin stringy) 

Also I feel as if my joints and bones are popping out of place a lot more frequently and a lot more painfully then they ever had ( this was a hard one to pin point because I use to dance competitively and so my joints naturally crack and pop in and out of place) 

I have ALLLL of the other symptoms that all lead to Celiacs, but I truly just want to know if anyone else had the same morning routine/experience. 
 

(if anyone is wondering my back story, I’ve always been a fit young girl, never had health problems, ate pretty good, except for the occasional gatherings, and parties. I recently got diagnosed with Endometriosis last November as that was something else I had suspected I had FOR YEARS. I’m glad I finally went to the Gastroenterologist but geez this celiacs seems like no freakin joke, if it ends up being the answer)

The oily stools and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms. It sounds like you may have other medical issues as well. It is common for celiacs to develop other autoimmune diseases.

That’s what I’ve been told/researched and found! Also, definitely will be checking after the diagnosis to make sure there aren’t any other underlying issues.

Did you get any blood tests done? Normally you would have a blood screening before doing the endoscopy. If so, please share the results. If not, you should ask your doctor to do this before you go gluten-free.

Hi there, my doctor had asked for the stool and blood samples the day of my first appointment, She had said that we’d go over ALL of the results from the tests to the endoscopy/colonoscopy and biopsies on the follow up. Unfortunately they rescheduled my follow up without me knowing. So I won’t be able to give an update till tomorrow.

Good luck, please let us know how things turn out!

      I am also figuring this out.  So how about emailing me at swalesdiana@gmail.com and lets figure this out together

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.
