Ugh Displaced Mind

The enema could have helped. Keep that in mind next time you're clogged up!! It could also be that your stress is lower .... you've been worried about this test for a while!

I was thinking the same things.

Glad it's over, Lister and that you're back home. Take it easy tonight--get some rest. :)

Ugh thats horrible! I don't do blood or needles, I get sick at the sight of blood. The last labs I had done this woman had to poke me 3 or 4 times, all the while she was explaining to me what she was doing, I passed out right there in the chair...not fun....

Glad it's over & you're feeling better!

Sorry about all the mishaps en route, but I hope some answers come from the biopsies.

If doc said it was normal to bleed, I wouldn't worry about it after two days. If it's for a week or two, then I might be concerned.

anyone know what a stigomoidoscopy rules out?? i know not cancer because it only covers 1/3d of the colon but i know it rules out colitis anything else?

_________

so i dont know what to think anymore. since the prep, i have been feeling pretty good, still always tired and i got some mild stomic discomfurt but my stomic is definatly doing way way way better then it was, im starting to think maybe half my problem was just i was really clogged up and the enemas cleared out the clog.. dont know could be completly wrong, but i do remember 5 months ago when this all started when they where doing xrays they said there was a stool lodged in my colon that was not moving at all.. so maybe i blasted it out and that was what was causing my problems (wouldnt that be awsome) o well just gotta play the waiting game some more for real answers

Great to hear you are feeling better, Lister! Hope this is the beginning of real healing for you.

Lister there are exercises that you can do that help move a "lazy bowel". For one you can get on the floor on all fours, your knees & elbows, then take one leg & stick it straight out back & draw it to your chest, do those a few times & then with the same leg lifted off the floor & bent, lift it sideways, then repeat with the other leg, you can also take one leg and instead of straight out bend it at the knee & slightly lift up. This used to work for me when nothing else would.

im starting to get frustrated again, im still loosing weight im down to about 157 so that was another 4 pounds in a week. i only have a small amount of stomic left to loose, whatever this is has already sucked the fat out of everyother place in my body, im boney skinny everywhere and its starting to freak me out.. what happens once there is no more fat for it to suck up?? its taking way to long to figure out whats wrong with me

well i just got the results back from the stigmoidoscopy, well that was a waist of fricking money. they found nothing with the biopsis so now he wants to do a endoscopy/full colonoscopy- at the same time (omg ahhhhh) i dont think i can even go thru with that procedure, i meen i guess i could suck it up and do the colonoscopy but the endo seems kinda extreme to me. plus the money OMG..... the next apointment is past october so im going to be living longer with no fricking answers. its fricking bullcrap omg i hate all of this fricking crap..and now he wants me to start taking like medamusul and crap to try to regulate me. doubt it will work just more money waisted

Sorry lister, I hate going to the doctor period. Needles, blood, sterille rooms, creepy hallways, the whole experience stresses me out. With your sypmtoms both procedures are a good idea. Why didn't they just do a colonoscopy in the first place? :blink: Well at least for both of those procedures you won't feel it, and its pretty easy to get through...I remember after my colonoscopy they found nothing, and told me to come back for a follow up appointment. I was so ticked off at not having any answers, and so tired of doctors I just wrote them all off and sat at home sick and stubborn for 3 months. After awhile things got worse than they had ever been so I went back and got my endoscopy, then was diagnosed. Just hang in there jump through their hoops and eventually they will figure it out....

Ya I know I went through the same thing, I kept getting on the internet and googling my symptoms, and that didn't make matters any better trust me. I thought I was dying seriously, I never thought for a million years it was what I was eating.

i have been on a gluten-free casien free diet for almost 6 months now, i really dont think its something i was eating anymore. But yeah i dont google myself anymore. all it does is make it way worse, all that comes up is stomic cancer or colon cancer, both of wich i know i probably dont have im to young. i probably have chrons like the doc thinks but if its chrons i dont know how he is going to be able to stop the weight loss since chrons is not really treatable they just give u meds to stop complaining. for some reason the doc wants me to go get a bunch of blood work done next week, dont see the point since he sgoing to be scoping me soon i think hes just after my wallet

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      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.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." 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...

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...

      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?
