so i started to do research again to find some aid for my symptoms since its been 6 months now and the doctors still have not gotten any were besides ruled out some more stuff. but i was looking up some of my symptoms or in general problems with myself ( constant dry saliva, always very very cold, i get dizzy when i stand up, i black out sometimes when standing up, panic/axiety attacks, dark urine) and webmd, has all of those problems listed as dehydration problems.. so i have a moniterd water intake, i drink a full bottle of propel (full of water) every hour about 10 times a day thats alot of water, so what besides not drinking enough, could cause dehydration that would also cause stomach pains that burn and gurgle burn and gurlge

Are you getting enough electrolytes? To cure dehydration they add about 7 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. salt to a quart of water. Maybe try that to see if it helps.

It can also be adrenal fatigue. Google adrenal fatigue and adrenal burnout and see if it sounds like your problem.

I was wondering how you were doing, I hadn't seen you around here lately.

Well, the lower stress about all this sure makes you sound better, you have to be feeling better on some level! It's tough ... I'm still trying to figure out how to get better, too.

If Enterolab came back negative, it sounds like you don't have a problem with gluten. Given your other symptoms, you might find that adrenal fatigue plays a role. The standing up and blacking out, dizziness, cold, anxiety, etc. can be from dehydration, but can also be from adrenal fatigue. It can even cause digestive problems. I'm glad to hear you got the Enterolab tests to start getting some answers.

Has your doc considered Sjogren's Syndrome? I don't know a ton about it bue I just found out that I may have it (from an ANA test). I looked it up and dry eyes and dry mouth are two of the primary symptoms, but there are a TON of other symptoms including joint pain, dizziness, and being cold. I don't have any other advice, but good luck!

How about a Hiatal Hernia. You said sometimes it bluges out below your lungs and you have to push it is and it makes a gurgle sound. I have the same thing.

Also, if your are drinking all that water, your washing all the good stuff out of your body. And go to the drug store and get some B-12 pills. That was the cause of my dizziness.

One way or the other, we're gonna get you well. :P

I was at Starbucks this morning chatting with of all people an infectious disease doctor. Given that you have had severe weight loss and were thought to have celiac symptoms but do not have the disease, what he told me may apply to you. Have you been checked for Whipple's disease? This is way out there, but apparently it shares many symptoms with celiac but is bacterial.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
