Nini,

Sorry to go off topic, I know you are having personal problems, but I'm wondering about Chiropractors. What exactly are they used for? Do you believe they get results?

Again, sorry you are having work problems.

yes I believe that Chiropractors get results, chiropractic is usually thought of as treatment for whiplash after car accidents. That is only one of the things they are good for, also for headaches, back pain, neck pain... I believe that they are also good for general well being, keeping the nervous system free from blockage, the nervous system can function better.

HI

MAYBE WE SHOULD START A THREAD ON --"HOW CHIROPRACTORS HAVE HELPED US"...THOSE THAT WANT TO CAN START THEIR OWN THREAD OF WHY THEY HATE THEM.

MINE IS THE ONLY EXPERT ON celiac disease THAT I HAVE SEEN. MY INTERNIST & GI TOLD ME TO CONSULT HER ON THE DIET AS SHE KNEW MORE ABOUT IT THAN THEY DID...GIVEN HOW SHE'D HELPED ME OVER THE 11 YEARS I'VE GONE TO HER.

IT TOOK 3 YEARS TO GET UP THE COURAGE TO SEE HER AS I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEM. THAT BEING SAID. ' THERE ARE GOOD ONES WHO ADJUST EACH PATIENT IN A DIFFERENT WAY BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR NEED' JUST AS THERE ARE BAD DR.S THERE ARE ALSO BAD CHIRO'S.

MY SWIMMING TEACHER OF 5 YEARS BEGGED ME TO SEE HER.

SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE AFTER DX'D AND PERSONALLY 'DEGULTEN MY KITCHE'

I WOULDN'T BE WALKING TODAY WITHOUT HER.

JUDY IN PHILLY

PS NISILA--I THINK THE IDEA OF A REHAB PLACE MIGHT BE GOOD. BET YOUR CHIRO WOULD GIVE A GOOD REFERENCE...I FORGET --DO YOU HAVE A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATION..I HAVE A FRIEND WHO JUST WENT FOR MASSAGE THEARPIST AND IS SO BUSY SHE'S EXHAUSED..I KNOW THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU SOME WHERE OUT THERE.

I hate that good people have bad things happen to them.

I hate that losing people hurts.

I hate that love is the biggest, most painful risk we can take.

But above all that, today, right this minute, after working out almost EVERY day this last two weeks...

Nini I don't know anything about your occupation so I can't offer any suggestions. There is a better job out there and this may be a sign to start looking. Good luck and hope all works out.

I hate Doctors who request your phone call and don't get back with you for four days, and then it's their nurse. So, anything new that may have happened in those 4 days I have to leave a new message for, which won't be returned for 4 days by his nurse again...

I HATE THE CITY....my country doctors were back with me in 2 hours and they knew my name, my history, and gave me great advice even though I'm seeing someone else...these doctors here I'm just a number or something, obviously not someone they really care about...AAGGHH!!!

I just want to feel good!! or really I want someone to tell me it's not gluten it's something entirely different because I could only afford a day and a half worth of gluten free food....ughhh, I hate this!

I HATE MY JOB!

Okay -- here goes (deep breath) :

I hate the fact that my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years and I were about to get engaged in January and, were it not for the sudden revelation about all this Celiac stuff for me and his dissertation defense would still be about to get engaged, or, in fact, engaged, but NO -- he had to go and freak out and actually move out of our shared house and now I need a roommate to cover the last few months of the lease -- not to mention the fact that I'm writing a dissertation as well AND my boyfriend is on the job market looking for an academic job which will take him far away and possibly even make it impossible to heal the rifts in our relationship -- even though we were both ready to take the jump towards marriage together -- because now I'm having second thoughts about writing my dissertation long-distance just so I can move to be with him RIGHT NOW and am thinking that -- if we get back together I'll need at least six months in town here to write before I can move -- (and he's just now said he wants us to date each other again -- last night after three and a half weeks of hellish moving out frenzy and his total refusal to own any of his anger about this. I hate that we've created another rift in the trust between us.

Despite all of this, I'm feeling fabulous and getting a lot of work done and spending time with friends -- which is the ironic other result of finally figuring out what was wrong with my health.

- not having an appetite

- the feeling of being full after eating 2 bites of something

- being nauseous 24/7!!!!!!!

- this overall sick feeling i feel like i have ALL the time

- how depressed i always get

- how i feel like an outcast when im around everyone else eating normal foods

- that no one around me understands the frustration with this disease

- that i dont feel like myself anymore

- weighing 88lbs. i really really hate it!

- when people say "i wish i had that disease so i could be skinny'

- paying $6 for a loaf of bread that tastes like cardboard

I'm finally feeling pretty good again, so I can take most of these things with a grain of salt, but it doesn't hurt to vent a litlle here:

I hate when my department head tells me he understands my restricted diet because he's a vegetarian and I can't bless him out because he's my department head.

I hate that immediately after this he tells me we're ordering pizza for a departmental dinner.

I hate being reduced to eating a salad so often when eating out.

I hate being so skinny and feeling guilty for hating that I am so skinny because all my other friends are trying to lose weight. I really hate that I have a friend who is trying to lose a substantial amount of weight and we often go to the gym together, and I just have that feeling that I make her feel bad.

I hate that my 'disease' becomes the topic of conversation at nearly dinner/party/bar when I meet someone new. That whole Now why can't you eat grains -what a freakish body you have-tell me more syndrome. Particularly when my other friends could probably recite my lines for me.

I hate the stinking inconvenience of a gluten free diet.

I hate most of all that my mother almost assuredly have Celiac but won't get tested. It worries me all the time.

I hate nausea. Really. I hate it. Three straight years of it constantly, and somehow I think that should be exempt from ever vomiting again.

Well, I guess now that I've purged myself here, I should count my blessings on the love,love,love page...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
