Ugh Displaced Mind


Lister

Recommended Posts

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....

Hi Lister,

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

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

Lister Rising Star

yeah same here, the doc says he is able to rule out alot of things from the results. i will get a better discription in a few days

Lister Rising Star

hmmm not sure if it matters or not but im still ced up and when i do get stuff its fricking neon green now... wtf did those laxatives and enemas do to me :( now im even more iregular

__________

Lister Rising Star

anyone here bleed at all after biopsis? the day of i had like bloody snot, but now its 2 days later and im still gettting chunks of red/black blood in my stools and by themselvs. wondering if i should call the doctor or if this is normal after biopsis ( the doc said it was normal to bleed after them, but its been 2 days)

CarlaB Enthusiast

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.

Lister Rising Star

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

Lister Rising Star

woohoo i have gas :), i know that sounds wierd to be happy about, but im finally passing normal sounding gas around 10 times a day. makes me feel more normal since i used to always pass and then after getting sick never. i meen its not painfull gas just gas :) yay and my bms are now a earth tone instead of interesting yellow. woohoo i hope things keep going up from here and dont drop back down i would be sad but for now im fairly happy... woohoo... i wonder what is really wrong with me.. so random

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.

Lister Rising Star

thanks i will try that, yeah it seems like my bowls just dont work 90% of the time, like it wont let anything travel properly no clue why. some days they work other days they dont hope that exersise helps thx

It's the least he can do ... That would be wonderful for you.

Hip Hip Hooray for grandparents !!!!

Lister Rising Star

well i talked to my grandpa and the conversation got no were, he did not remember having it with me- apprently my dad says hes going senial :(.

man i was hoping to atleast get some answers from that

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

Lister Rising Star

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

Guest ~jules~

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....

Lister Rising Star

i just hate all of it, the more tests they do without finding things the more i start to worry about what it is thats going on with me.. its freaky

Guest ~jules~

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.

Lister Rising Star

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

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
