wow, i really dont know whats going on withmyself anymore

I felt like i was doing great - the stomic burning and gurgaling(doctor put me on prilosec to see if that would help, i have to wait tell payday because i cant afford it right now) is happening less offten and without the meds yet. but lately it seems like my instestines are always talking, like i can feel pushing in them and like fart noises and feelings, but coming from inside me all the time, plus im getting cysts in random spots hope those are not bad, i got a lump on my chest thats hard and my girlfriend says its a cyst, i have one on my back also and one on my thigh ( never had these before) and these past few days it feels like my mind is detached from my vision (like a mild stoned feeling all the time) but i quit smoking the greens about a month ago now so i know its not because of greens.... ugh i wish i could just feel perfectly "normal" for a day

Hi Lister,

I have had some experience with the 'mind fog' phenomena, though usually in association with accidental ingestion of gluten. I would recommend Piracetam as this has been helpful for many people with this condition as well as myself (you can purchase it on-line with no prescription). I doubt that the 'greens' are related in anyway and I would not be too concerned about using them occasionally (people here seem to have a negative view of this drug with no apparent explanation).

Sincerely,

Aaron

not sure if this is less of a scare or more of one, but i herd from one of my sisters friends, that the reason she was puking blood was not because of a blood clot disorder but that she was trying to OD on exedrin and took 12 on a empty stomich, dont know if thats true or not though

The time I mentioned the greens in a negative way it was supported by information on anxiety. It was the website (several of them) that mentioned the connection between greens and anxiety, not me!! Lister seems to suffer very badly from anxiety ...

ANXIETY!!! Lister, it might be worth calling that primary care doc and asking for an anxiety prescription. He's seen you before, you already owe him money ... maybe he'll give you one over the phone. Between your illness and your sister, you really need something ... and it probably won't cost as much as the prep for your endo!

well yay..... I HATE THE HOSPITAL........ So, when someone applys for finacial service help and they get accepted all you get in the mail is a slip that says you get 100% chairty write off, well ok to that, you would naturaly assum that meens they cover all hospital expensis.... well today i just got a letter from collections for $400, aparently the doctor i saw at the ER was not included in the write off... THEY REALLY SHOULD TELL U WHAT THEY ARE SPECIFICALY GOING TO COVER... now i have debt i did not know about is that not the most awsome doggone thing in the world and to top off the icecream bowl, i just got a bill from the endoscopy center for 900 for my stig, i was told was going to be $100 written off, and since i did not get off work until 4pm i cant call either places in the hopes to fix all of this, but from where im standing it looks like im doggone screwed... so much for getting my life back on track... man andi have been in such a good doggone mood lately too this really ruined it.... now im stressed and my stomic hurts ( o yeah looks like my life does effect my symptoms) because i have been fairly fine all day until this....

Lister, don't make yourself sick over medical bills. Get your life on track. Put eating, rent, and school cost before doctor bills. The collection agencies might drive you nuts, but just don't answer the phone. Pay what you can really afford. You need an education so you can get out of this mess. Honestly, if pay all your living expenses (even Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, phone companies, electric companies, cell phone companies, etc. report you if you don't pay) other than the medical bills, by the time you finish your GED and community college (I think that's what you said a while back that you wanted to do), those bills will be far down on your record. Just be sure everything else is good! Also, you can finally pay them off several years down the line to improve your credit rating once you have a better job.

You can still get your life back on the track you want. Everyone will understand that you had health issues you couldn't afford when you were young. Just be sure it's the only spot on your record.

its just so frustrating because my life was almost on track. Besides for this sickness thats slowly making me deterate, i had a game plan... my credit line right now is still perfect infact my credit cards limit just went up thats how good im doing.. i had the remaing dx bills organized and set up so i would be paid off by the end of this year so i could start a new year completly debt free, but now this just comes in and smacks me in the face.. i was so close to having my life back under controle.. plus if they dont wave the endo bill like they said they will then that meens i can never go thru with the colonoscopy or endoscopy becasue i definatly cant afford to pay for those.. i thought it was all free thats what they fricking told me....

on a plus side i got insentive items from work today for doing a good job- 2 blockbuster cards for 2 free movie rents 2 free sodas and 2 freee tubs of popcorn.. too bad i cant have the pop corn or sodas and that im permanitly banned from the blockbustr in town for breaking there window 3 years ago .... o well it was a nice gesture i guess

Lister carla is right don't stress it too badly. All you need to do is make an effort to throw whatever you can afford down on these collections. As long as you make arrangements to pay them something and stick to it they will work with you. Do not the collectors bully you or stress you out more, don't argue with them. Tell them what you can pay and pay it thats all you need to do, even if its only 20 bucks a month that will at least show an effort on your part to pay the debt and they can't do anything about it.

Even if it's only 5 or 10 per month!

Get your girlfriend to rent the movie!! Get the popcorn and sodas and give them as a gift to someone.

Package it all up, wrap it nicely, and give it to someone for Christmas! At least if you can't enjoy it, it can save you the cost of a Christmas gift! Buy the popcorn and soda, then wrap it with the movie coupons.

What you are describing all points to a massive yeast overgrowth. The overgrowth will get worse with any introduction of prescribed medication, unless it is an antifungal. Ask your doctor to put you on Diflucan or another antifungal as soon as possible. If he wont, then start eating raw garlic!!! You need to kill the yeast and flush your system as you do. Drink tons of water!! I mean gallons of water, and AVOID SUGAR! No soda, no refined sugar of any kind until you have it under control.

You're probably right, Kris.

I avoided all refined carbohydrates to get rid of mine. It's best if you eat only meat, veggies, and eggs, some brown rice maybe, ocassionally some potatoes. But avoid the carbs. You'll be dying to eat them because the yeast will be starving off and telling your body it needs them, but don't feed the yeast.

Coconut oil is also good to rid yourself of them, you can use it like butter on your veggies. Lots of garlic and onions. No sugar or alcohol.

I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hello, I'm relatively new to this, so I'm hoping to get some advice. I went gluten-free for most of April and felt the best I've ever felt. I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m hon...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m honestly feeling miserable. I’ve been dealing with joint pain, bloating, diarrhea, and just overall discomfort. Does anyone have tips on how to manage these symptoms during this month? What has helped you with joint pain?
