Some Symptoms Diseapering

So my doctor is almost positive i have a form of colitis. He wants me to have a colonoscopy done after he gets the results back from my stool culter( testing for parasites) if that comes back positive he is going to help me get rid of the worms and what not then he still wants to have a colonoscopy done because he is convinced that i have colitis (since my stools are still very green contain black specks, unabosrbed food, and lately have been coverd with a incrediably large ammount of a white mucuse like substance) but some of my symptoms have gone away

My stomic is hardly ever bugging me now besides when i feel i may need food it starts to do the gurgle thing and what not so i eat something and withen 10 minutes it goes away for over 4 hours. So my stomic pains are pretty much gone (only like random pinchs and what not but not nearly as bad as they where even 2 days ago) could this meen that he is wrong about the colitis or can they unforuntaly just flare up whenever they want to?? my left side is still very tender like to the tuch it hurts, but im hoping this is all caused by bacteria/parasites could it??? or do my symptoms that i have still probably meen colitis. Im really hoping to prove the doctor wrong and only have parasites and maybe gluten sensativity. So the only thing left to work on is more normel looking stools, brain fog, hunger(i never get hungry i just eat when my stomic starts to hurt) and slight nausua. any insite on to what you may think would be appretiatied. I want the truth not stuff thats going to make me calm down if it happens to be bad truth o well i need it. Im just not getting any answers from my doctor and its been a month and so im searching hard to find them.

edit-- also how do they test for gluten sensativity? does he just desided i have it or is there a acuall test

edit-- also the white stuff seems to be more in the morning expeshaly my first of the day so im thinking maybe these are eggs or something but its probably like stomic lining :(

edit-- i forgot to add about the fatigue- its only 2pm and i feel like im ready for bed all the time, gah i have been gluten free for about 3 and a half weeks now when will these things end

I was diagnosed with micropsopic colitis 10 years ago. They did a colonoscopy and found irritation in my colon. The medicine did nothing and made it wose. Now that I am gluten free I feel great. The colonoscopy was very uncomfortable and knowing that I had colotis really helped nothing. Good luck.

Hey Lister, has your doctor mentioned candida at all? Aside from the parasites (which could be causing some of your symptoms, candida could also cause most of those same symptoms. It can also present itself as gluten intolerance. I'm only suggesting this since you had said earlier in the week that you tested negative for celiac. It might be worth while looking into it.

i was just about to post that lol how funny. I just did the quiz from candida free, and i scored fricking 197 it says you pretty much definatly have it as a male if you score over 180 and i did by 17 points maybe even more i let myself go with less points on stuff that i probably should have made 9 instead of 6, i am going to bring this up to my doctor on monday when he calls and see what he thinks, but he is beeing a fricking jerk so i dont even think he will bother listning

(example of doctor beeing a jerk) he is the on call doctor right now so he gets paid to answer phone calls. I called at 7am yesi know this is slightly early so i was not expecting a response for atleast a couple of hours. it hit 11 and still no call so i had him paged again. he called me back and said that he perpsly did not call me back and then he told me never to call him again unless i start compulsavly vomiting or crapping lots of blood. Now i do belive it his JOB to answer calls from patiens when he is on call not to give me crappy answers like that.

but yeah that definatly sounds like me hmmmmmm (is candida a risk to your health or just cause lots of symptoms?) wow i really hope it is candida that would be great to finally feel normal again its been so long i can barly remember what it feels like.

Lister, you doctor is an on call doctor for emergencies, that is what he meant by the blood or vomit statement. From what you have listed here as going on yesterday and today 'emergency' does not really apply. While I am the first to doctor bash, I've had some doozies, this was not out of line. He may have been up all night putting someones intestines back in after an accident or something. It is his job to answer emergencies when he is on call and I'm sure if you have an emergency he will be there for you.

You should teach yourself how to spell.

(I'm a dork. I like reading grammar books and stuff). I mean, if you can learn so much about celiac disease in a short period of time, I think you're capable of learning how to spell. Sorry, that was random and did not answer any of your questions, but I couldn't help it :)

hmm, i just tried the spit test (even though i didn't just wake up) and almost right away there are mucousy strings floating around in the water and its turned cloudy. my symptoms seems to match up more with gluten intolerance than candida though, but maybe i should looks into this.

going to pray and keep my fingers crossed about my test results tomorrow and hope i do have canidia that would be sweeeeet

this is making me feel alot better, it makes me not worry about chrons or uleritive colitis since this all could just be parasites and canidia shouldnt get my hopes up to much or i could get very bumbd if its not

I would bet that it has something to do with your parasitic infection. If I were you, I would eat small amounts every 3-4 hours. That should keep you from getting hunger pains. Also, be sure that you're fulfilling an appropriate caloric intake for your size.

god im so good at making myself depressed over things i cant controle :(

I was 18 when I was diagnosed and they thought I had a form of colitis so they did the colonoscopy. From what I was told they don't usually know what type until they do a biopsy. Hopefully they can figure it out.

You're just a product of the American educational system. If they taught kids properly on how to read phonetically in public schools, everyone would be able to spell. Programs like microsoft word don't help.

Sorry.....Chelsea is absolutely right. In California, the biggest disaster ever to hit the educational system was the Whole Language approach and "invented spelling" - - - a true horror.

Guess we've gotten off-topic a bit here.... :blink:

to continue off topic, the reson i can not spell is because instead of letting me attend class's i was thrown into lrc programs and into suspensions and into special class's where they just let us play all day- this was all the way thru middle school, once entering highschool i realized how slow they had made me

back onto topic, the more i think about it the less i think i have chrons (its what the doctor thinks i have) i meen i dont even have D i had it for the first 2 1/2 weeks before going gluten free then it changed back and forth between normel and C, and C is not a part of chrons chrons causes chronic D and thats not a problem for me. hmmmm i think my doctor may need to do more reaserch before scaring his pationts

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
