Hi Everyone,

Today I get the Biopsy reults. I have been to my regular Doctor twice in the last week and a half. I had blood in my urine. Turns out, I have a Urniary Tract Infection. Well, being on the antibiotic almost a week, I was still having pains. They were so bad yesterday I called out of work. After seeing him again yesterday he is sending me for an ultra sound and catscan for Kidney Stones. A co-worker told me to drink a 6 pack of beer. I said ummm I can't drink beer. People don't get it! I have never been to see a doctor this many times in my entire life! I am still having malabsorbtion issues, so I am now on 2 perscription vitamins. Pleaseeee tell me I will be back to myself soon. Thanks for Listening

You are not a hypochondriac. You are not weak. You are not weird. You are not a nuisance. You are not being difficult. You are not a freak. You are not alone. Stay strong. It will all be over soon. And the best part is, guess what??? WE get it!!! WE understand!!! WE are here for you!!!

Your coworker recommended the beer because it flushes the kidneys. What I recommend is cranberry juice and tea. Not mixed, just drink some each day. The cranberry juice creates a hostile environment in the bladder for bacteria, and the tea is a diuretic, it flushes out the kidneys. However, wait until after you know about kidney stones, as flushing the kidneys with stones can be bad. You will be back to yourself soon, just breathe deep, and persevere!

Hi Rose--It will all work out! You just have so much to deal with right now all at once. Sending good thoughts and a hug your way :)

I agree with the cranberry juice (and take cranberry pills as well). Also, take pro-biotics (acidophilus), my homeopath says that they are very helpful to get rid of bladder infections. I'd never have thought of that myself!

Hello Rose. I'm new to the forum and feeling a little bit confused myself but I hope you feel better soon.

Becareful with the antibiotics, they kill the good bacteria in our intestines and when the good bacteria dies it leaves room for yeast to grow. Acidophilus is a good recommendation to avoid that.

Well as I suspected, the GI said everything was good on the Biopsy. He said there was no way it was Celiac. So he said it was okay to eat Gluten. Like I am going to listen to that! My other dr said I have the antibody. Go figure! Well now I have H Pylori, which was found with the endoscope. Antibiotics for 2 weeks. I am going to wait till Monday, I need a few drinks this weekend!

Thanks for all your support, Hugssss

Rose,

See how the diet makes you feel and maybe once you have the H. Pylori gone you will feel better. It will get better and sorry you aren't feeling well.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.
