Falling Apart :(

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.
