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!!!

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By JudyLou · Posted

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
