Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and I need some help from everyone.

I was diagnosed in Jan 06 and have been gluten free since most days I feel pretty good, but I do have really bad days as everyone I am sure can relate to. I also have U.C. and IBD. Now my question is I get a really bad case of the D's when I have to go see the Dr. now I know this proably sounds a little nutty be could I be giving myself "panic attacks" so I don't have to go out? I will say I have a very good Dr. As many of you know I had to go thru alot of Drs before being dianosed correctly before him I had all kinds of tests and was told by the gastro I don't know what is causing these problems it was my family dr and all he did was listen to me... No surpise there. Please I welcome all help.

Thank you for listening......

Yes, you can give yourself "d" just from stress. It happens to my Mom all the time...whenever she gets stressed, anxious or worried she ends up having to run to the bathroom. I dont know if thats whats happenning to you....just letting you know that it can happen.

Thanks I can't take over the counter meds because those bind me up and then I have bigger problems..I just feel that I am caught in a catch 20/20. I have tried not to think about anything and relaxation breathing and it just does not seem to help.

I also get D when stressed and if I know I have something stressful coming up, I try to plan my diet accordingly. I won't eat "questionable" foods (foods that somestimes seem to give me problems) and will eat rice, bananas, etc. beforehand to help keep my G I tract stable. I think sometimes just telling myself I'm in control of it seems to help.

It is possible to get D when nervous or stressed--happens to my friend and her sister all the time and neither one of them have any tummy issues :) I suffer from panic attacks and think it's all part of the whole celiac disease thing--worry about whether my tummy etc is going to act up while I'm out, where the closest bathroom is...usually I'm pretty good, but if I feel slightly off I tend to stay home :(

I have several friends that deal with this, at times of high stress and anxiety, or even sadness/depression, it really affects their stomachs. They call it their "nervous stomachs"

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      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.
