I wrote a few days ago that I had been severly ill. I went to the doctor yeterday and today. I haven't eaten for 5 days and am still sipping some fluids. He said my hemoglobin is 10. I have had since Monday (sorry a little gross) very watery black stools. I had to take specimens in today and am waiting to hear the results. He started me on Promethazine tonight and did more blood work today. I am just so tired and want to know what is going on. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers so I can start to feel better.

I hope you feel better soon. Ten is awfully low! Are you bleeding? Is that what they are suspecting?

If you are not eating, please drink lots of fluids...gatoraid is good. It could be just a flu bug. But, never the less keep hydrated.

Check in soon.

I'm sorry you're sick :(

The promethazine (phenergan) will help you get relief, though.

I hope they figure out what's wrong soon, gluten is often not the/only problem.

Thank you for all the kind thoughts and words. I still haven't heard from the doctor on my specimens or my blood work. It is so frustrating to sit and wait for them to call. I did manage to eat a little rice last night. I will keep you all updated. Thanks again for the support, it really helps.

I hope you figure out what is going on soon. It is terrible not to know. Have things slowed down at all? ARe you still nauseated?

Hugs,

My doctor's nurse finally called. She said that what she could tell me is that my iron level that was supposed to be between 15 and 55 was at 9. My hemoglobin had dropped below 10 and my hematacrit?? was at 20 something ( I do not remember) My stool tests came back negative for salmonella, e coli, and parasites. It did show signs of blood loss (duh). I am scheduled to do another IV iron infusion on Monday. She said there is a bad stomach flu going around and with my system already injured that this really got to me. I did eat some potato soup broth tonight and so far so good. Thanks again

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
