sarah..........ohhhh. :( I don't know what to think or say about this diagnosis. Miralax, forever? Wow. Somehow, I don't think that's the final answer......but SO glad you can get into that facility later. You guys are going through too much this past year. I'm starting to wonder if your house is poisoning you! :unsure: (except, your hubby's healthy, isn't he?)

I remember wondering this myself, Sarah.....your house is healthy, right? No mold, asbestos, etc.? Poor widdle Luke! let's hope the Miralax acts like dynamite, and you can reassess when his bowels are normal.

I read that as "sugary", which I do believe would have a totally other meaning :nervouslaughface:

Another sentence to chase away any new silly prospects, and possibly warnings for all.......

Yep. let's just drag ouselves away, and leave this one............ :lol::lol:

Yeah, Brian's pretty healthy! With the Miralax... Ugh, I know. What I'm thinking though, is that if there's an underlying problem, it's going to come through anyway, eventually. So it's a step forward no matter what... I hope... right? ... Sigh... As for disagreeing with someone, yeah I know. <_< Honestly, with the day I've had today, I'm sick of the whole stupid thing. <_< I am, however, incapable of letting something like this go. :(

Sorry about the disappointing appointment Sarah :( I do hope the Miralax will at least get things moving in the meantime, that is for sure the priority.

Yeah, that's definitely number one right now.

Sarah--I'm sorry the appt wasn't what you had hoped, but good news that the spot on his leg was "only" eczema and nothing more serious.

I had a gastro in NJ who used the term IBS <_< , but still acknowledged that there was a cause. Hopefully, the Miralax will <_< work while a real cause is looked into :)

That's what I'm hoping!

:wub:

Yeah, nothing like that. Our house is pretty new... only about 8 years old, I think. I don't think there's any nasties lurking. Honestly, these health problems have been going on for years, dating before we lived here too...

It's been a weird progression. Luke's potty problems, well at first we thought they were potty training issues. It took a long time for us to realize that there was a physical problem. Then my mom was dxed with Celiac, and I took a look at Luke first. Put him on the gluten-free diet, and all his problems went away. The only symptom that has come back is the constipation.

It's ironic, because it was the constipation and accidents that initially made me look at Celiac for him. It was only then that I realized so many other things could be symptoms... His dental problems, low energy and fatigue, dark circles under his eyes, the mystery low-grade fevers, constant viruses and infections. All that has stayed gone, and he does get terrible symptoms when he gets glutened-- wicked cramps, diarrhea, you know the drill. So I know gluten is a problem... it's just this one awful symptom that has come back and won't go away. :(

If I had been able to get him to a specialist before, and get actual testing, instead of always trying to figure everything out on my own... If I'd been able to do that a couple years ago, maybe we wouldn't even be going through this right now. Okay... trying not to go down the guilt road, I've already been doing the random tears and sniffles today. :rolleyes:

Good luck with all the new supps! Is the one with a bit o milk the probiotic?

Yeah .. .or sorta . .it's the pill that's an all-everything multi w/ 45 vits/minerals/enzymes/probi etc.

A separate probiotic from her does say DF.

I read that as "sugary", which I do believe would have a totally other meaning :nervouslaughface: :lol::lol:

I'd just misread surgery as sugary 3x in a minute before seeing this!! :lol:

Sarah - hope the miralax works well & you're right, the rest will get solved in time.

Susie hits happy hour!!!! :)

Tonight's 'Music in the Park' here has someone I've never heard of :o . .. That's rare. Anyone know Junior Reid?

Far cry from when they had Tower of Power!!

But down in Willow Glen there's a local band I think my friend is still in.

So I should go to one or some of both or SOMEthin!

Aaaaaand the Miralax works... too well? It gave him diarrhea. :unsure: Maybe I'll try him on a 1/2 dose tomorrow. Thank God he made it to the bathroom, because that poor little boy is empty now. :unsure:

Don't know if I wanna pursue dat sentence.......

:lol:

:lol::lol: ROFL :lol::lol:

She looked at the mark on his leg- checked out the pores with her scope thingy- and it's nummular eczema. Basically this is just a particular shape- circular, coin sized- of eczema. While we were looking at it, we found other, patchier areas of eczema on his hip. She thinks it's probably caused by stress from the bathroom issues.

I think that's what I was dx with years ago....although I don't know how competent he was <_< He told me to take fewer showers (dry skin sopposedly makes it worse), wrote my a topical prescription, but also said that Crisco would work just as well. :huh: It hasn't come back since I've been gluten free.

Yeah, that's definitely number one right now.

Actually , shouldn't that be #2?????? :lol:

Of course you can't disagree! Didn't you know that reading product endorsements and 250 word abstracts on the internet means you have a PhD in . . . um . . . everything! :unsure: I feel like I'm asking for a warning . . . *scurries off *

I understand that. Iron did nothing to slow things down for me when me villi were still healing . . . it just gave me heartburn!

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow Janet!!!

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
