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

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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
