I've been having loose bowel movements accompanied by blood and mucus. Most of the time it's only blood and mucus...no stools. I go to the bathroom, and as soon as I get out of there, I feel like i have to go again. I don't know what is wrong with me. I haven't been glutened or anything cause i've had this over 2 months now. I don't feel sick at all. I just have gas and very rare bloating.

Anyone ever hear of Dr. Dahlman's protocol? I've actually ordered everything to do the first months treatment. (Not cheap...cost me 200$). I really hope it starts working. If not, I guess I'll have to go see a doctor again. <_<

Wow, that sounds like ulcerative colitis to me. My sister has UC, after years of on-and-off prednisone treatment she's finally in remission with a drug called 6-MP.

I went to Dr. Dahlman's website and read a few pages. To be blunt I think he's a quack :wacko:. Sorry!

Celiac is the only autoimmune disease that can be cured/treated through diet. I have rheumatoid arthritis and for years I got caught up in the diet-cure scams. A waste of money and worst of all a waste of precious, precious time. If you have UC get it treated by a board certified gastroenterologist now, before the disease progresses to a point of no return. (ie: surgery - or worse)

:unsure: I apologize if I offended. I feel very strongly because of my own experiences. YMMV.

I actually decided to call my family doctor and get referred to a gastroentorologist at the Celiac center in Boston. Hopefully they'll find something...not too serious I hope. I'm scared they'll make me do the gluten challenge cause I wasn't really diagnosed with Celiac (no colonoscopy)...just gluten intolorence by blood test.

I'll let you know when I find out.

Dr. Fine says NSAIDS are terrible for colitis, are you taking any?

Sorry to take over your post but I have a question! Nancy, can you tell me what NSAIDS are? I have mild active colitis and chronic active colitis and this would help me sort it out and feel better. I was diagnosed with colitis and basically left in the dark because they were testing for Celiac all that time, which came out negative both in the blood tests and the biopsy. I have done much better on a gluten-free diet, however, so wondering if I still might have it or gluten intolerance. I was 16 when I was tested....

Thanks,

justjane

Same here...what are NSAIDS?

I am only taking the following supplements which are Dr.Dahlman's protocol:

Lactoviden, Bifoviden, Metagest, Intesol, Azeo-Pangen, and Ultrainflamx. I had to stop taking all this cause I have been waking up in the middle of the night with pain in what I think is the higher part of my large intestine or just to the right of my stomach. Not sure what it is. Thats why i decided to go to my doctor.

NSAIDS are things like asprin, motrin, advil, pepto-bismol, excedrin, and other antinflammatories.

If you look on the bottle, there's usually a warning about ulcers and abdominal bleeding

They always warn about ulcers but it can also affect the upper GI tract, like the small intestine. Yeah thing like Advil, Aleve, aspirin, ibuprofen. I guess Tylenol isn't an NSAID, but it has its own set of problems (liver damage).

I was told by a regular gastro Dr. i might have UC...but then i went to a holistic Dr. and he went over a list of symptons (such as pale floating stools, bloody stools, leg cramps, headaches, etc...) and low and behold i'm glutent intolerant. Once i eliminated the gluten (even though all blood tests were negative) i'm sooo much better. He said the colitis would get even better/completely go away over the course of six months...as long as i stay gluten free.

Dr. Fine got into the gluten sensitivity by way of researching UC and microscopic colitis. He said that basically microscopic colitis looks very similar like villious atrophy only in the large instestines. He thinks there is a big connection between gluten and colitis.

Having both Microscopic Colitis (Lymphocytic) and gluten sensitivity (and the gene for celiac) I agree 100% with Dr Fine's connection.

Hi Jess,

I got an appointment with Dr. Cheney. I've hear really good things about her. She must be really good, I can only see her in February. I hope it all works out good. My appointment is Valentine's day. I think we're gonna stay in Boston and have a nice dinner.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
