Donnatal is a combination of active ingredients. I was on it for a while for my "irritable bowel" in my early twenties. It has atropine (belladonna), phenobarbital and other ingredients. Like Immodium, it may help ease the symptoms of celiac disease, but does nothing to address the underlying problem.

Thanks Peter. Stopped taking it for now in case it was making me dizzy ad caused some of the falls. Levsinon gave me the runs.

Will be back online tomorrow morning for a bit. Miss my psillies!!!!!!

G'mornin' all. Met wif my new calculus tutor yesterday and he's perfect, as I expected (a grad student who was my instructor for matrix algebra).

Going out w' BE tonight, and we're going to a friend's open house on Sunday, so he'll meet some of my theater friends. Still finding out fun things about him. I invited him to go to see the Picasso exhibit that's touring here and he agreed. I thanked him for doing that, thinking he was indulging me in my silly art tendencies, and he told me that his mom's and artist and he minored in art in school. He then proceeded to tell me about taking his kids to Europe and making them go to all the big museums. :)

It's really nice when the new stuff you learn about people is more than you expected to have in common. :)

I took me a mental health day on Wednesday! Went for a really long walk in the sunshine, cleaned out all of the summer veggies from the garden and took a really long nap! Spent yesterday morning wif my BFF and the afternoon cuddling wif the little one watching movies :wub: Then the evening a nervous wreck watching the older one trying to perfect her front handsprings for an hour waiting for her to break sumphin :huh: Made a yumm-o veggie soup and enjoyed a nice hot cocoa after my run! Twas a very nice 2 day vacation :)

Hope you had a phab-oo day yesterday!! I float tomorrow. Had a panic attack thinking about it last night. Will have to do some pserious deep breathing exercises to get me into that coffin tank!

Oooooh! That sounds phabulous! Wonder if it's coming here... I shall check! Maybe I'll bring Max. He's loves art museums for some reason :blink:

When I would "force" the boys to go to art galleries, we would play a game. Count the horses and dogs or all animals they see. When they were a little older (8 & 11) we went to the Hirschorn modern art at the Smithsonian. They complained at the first statue outside. Told them they were to count the naked people in the statues and paintings. How many male & how many female. Had a great time. Found about 90 females and 12 males. Cracked up at how the only way you could tell some were a person was they had boobs. :)

My older son loves that sort of thing (museums). We took the kids to The Smithsonian when they were younger and they really enjoyed it. When we lived nearer to Philadelphia, we liked to go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Such a huge place, it takes a number of visits to see it all.

Got People's Court on. It's hysterical! A guy hired another to cut down brush and haul off junk. Paid the junk man $2000 up front. The junk man wanted his last $1000 before he finished. The guy wouldn't pay him until he finished. The junk man brought " suitable garbage" back from another job and dumped it on the property.

Hmmm.. . .. .during the last significant visit I made to the National Gallery of Canada, I ended up having to bring a margarine container in with me to collect my urine should I have needed to go. I had started my annual 24-hour urine collection that morning, forgetting I had volunteered to do this school field trip. So, did I throw out the partial collection of urine when I realized where I was going to be all afternoon? No. Decided to live on the wild side -- or the ridiculous side -- and keep going.

Did I collect urine while in the gallery? Yes.

Did security ask me what I was carefully holding as I tried to nonchalantly follow the children out through the atrium doors? Yup.

It was, uh...... . . . .. ....well, quite a field trip... . . . ..I think it was quite something for the two security guards that listened as I told them that my plastic container had urine in it. The funniest part was how I had to tell them whose it was -- mine -- and then it seemed okay. "Oh, so it's your OWN urine. Very good - - carry on......have a nice day".. .. . ..

He said it was garbage of a similar sort that he had originally taken off the property! He said that the junk man's code says that if they aren't paid, he can dump up to 3 times the waste they cleared, back onto the cleared property. He has a warrant out for his arrest for illegal dumping!

I'm Baaaack!!! Missed my psilly pfriends!!!! Had a phab time with my girlfriends. Spent a wee bit too much money considering I don't know how much longer UI is lasting and if I'll be able to get disability. I should be able to at this point. What I really want is to get well and get a job!!!! I bought little things for the most part (XMAS gifts and psilly things for my son's mid-term goody bag that I'll bring him tomorrow (a gorilla pfinger puppet in honor of Karennng, a floating eyeball, a sparkle thing that lights up when you turn on a switch, a brown bear eraser/sharpener - brown bear is his college mascot- and of course about 4 pounds of leftover halloween candy). He better share the candy or he'll be a walking zit!!!!

I took my girlfriends to Westerly yesterday (where I live) because the weather was horrible and I wanted them to see Mystic Seaport when it wasn't a cold steady downpour. One of my friends is a newlywed and the other is getting married next October. Evidently her sister was a b!@#$ when she went shopping for dresses with her. We happened to find a wedding shop in downtown Westerly and they were amazing. They spent two hours with us. I think my girlfriend found her gown there (or at least narrowed it down to 2). She might just have to come back up to visit me with her mother. She was beaming and my other friend and I were thrilled that we could help her enjoy the experience. Her fiance is in the National Guard and has already been to Germany and Iraq. We're all praying he won't be shipped out again (or at all) before the wedding. It's hard for her to get too excited because of that. I plan on being well enough to make the trip and Rob said he's come and drive me (he HATES weddings or going to big affairs where he doesn't know anyone).

Today we went to the seaport and walked all day long. A bit hard on my coccyx but I think it was good for me. Seeing them definitely was!!! I dropped them off at the train at about 4:30 and although my hubby says he didn't miss the time we usually spend together I know he really did. I do know he was happy that they came to visit and was a very gracious host.

They also were big help with my getting material from basement to use with the girl I'll be tutoring. That means I can return about $50 worth of books back to Birder's tomorrow.

OK - Multiple replies here:

Rashelle , BE just gets better and better and I couldn't be more thrilled for you! You deserve it!!!!!!!! Dali is one of my favorites (I have two signed and numbered lithographs) and we went to the exhibit in Philly a few years ago. Tony was very nonplussed (he'll learn one of these days). I also love M.C. Escher and SO many others.

Karannng - you're too funny with counting naked people in the paintings. Do you and your children ever discuss it today?

Patti - Philly Museum of Art is where we saw the Dali exhibit. Use to be members when we lived n Jersey.

Elye- you are a real pisser! Did the urine make it out of the museum safely?

Going to make Klark dinner and then watch Ironman with him (we missed Ironman 2 in the theaters so we're watching the first one tonight then we'll watch the second. I have a serious case of the hots for Robert Downey Junior and my son thinks it's gross.

So good to be back! I missed you all!

Was it Levsin? My doc gave me that early on--made me dopey and didn't do a thing for my cramping. Have you tried laying down wif a heating pad?

He gave me that first and it didn't make me dopey but gave me the big D so I stopped taking it. The he gave me Donnatal and i think that was the culprit (It's a mix of belladonna and phenobarbital) because I stopped taking it yesterday and walked around all day yesterday and today with my girlfriends and didn't get dizzy or fall.

That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      By catnapt · Posted

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!
