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.

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
