Its not really D....but a new development on that front.

Soft...yellow, and really foul.

I am also really nauseated and feel like I want to urp....constantly today.

I'm here at my desk....poised for the mad dash I hope to make if I can't keep talking myself down.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

I've had a cold....and some coughing.

In the past liver enzymes have been high, but my GI docs office said what I described is pretty common place for Celiacs? :blink::ph34r:

It took months for mine to be "normal" ... it was never exactly as you described, but I had d for months, off and on, after going gluten-free. Make the mad dash ... it needs to come out!

Well I mean the mad dash to throw up....I hate throwing up.

Doc says....since 2 mos ago...all my hep C and etc was normal outside of some slightly elevated liver enzymes.....she thinks its a bug....and the celiac.

She said unfortunately....its the nature of the beast.

Is yellow really though....

My skirt is also slightly tight...so maybe I will go home on lunch and change to pants.

Pale stools are common in celiac. If it's "sick yellow" and you're throwing up, too, that sounds like a bug. Sounds like an empty tummy still in the "eliminate everything" mode! Hope you're feeling better soon! I'd just go home and take a nap, if you can!

I now take some silymarin (milk thistle extract) to prevent liver problems, help with any repair necessary...even though I have no idea whatsoever how my liver is...just taking this stuff to be on the cautious side. There are supposedly allergic reactions with silymarin sometimes, though...it might be common among people allergic to flowers in the daisy family; I can't remember now for sure.

I've read the same liver-reparing chemical is found in artichokes...so i eat a lot of them too.

With the malabsorption (told the GI doc my hair was getting brittle with out heavy conditioner )

And she said that could account for the color too??? :blink:

So much to learn...

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
