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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
