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:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

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 *

Hee--yep, iron never constipated me either....never met anything that could :lol:

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!!!

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
