Bad Health Day Yesterday/today

I know I rant about this stuff here a lot, but I havent been in this much pain in a while, if ever. i dont know what happened. I didnt get contaminated somehow because the extreme diarrhea started in the morning. even when I wasnt eating/drinking I was emptying. And then I tried to eat again and some stayed in me but on my walk to school yesterday I almost passed out twice (from the dizziness/nausea). Then at school it wasnt SO bad, I sat in a dumb chair most of the day so that was uncumfy. Then towards the end of my classes already I had diarrhea again--with blood. Then it appeared like I was starting my time of the month again (much later during classes, i'm SURE the 2 arent connected). But there wasnt much there.

As the night progress i got WORSE. The pains were (and still are) too much to handle. I've never felt my right side throbbing me this bad. And I cant say its from time of the month, if i get cramps from those its right across the whole stomach, not just my left side.

In the middle of the night I was tempted to wake up my landlord or the other lady that lives here to take me to the hospital, but i didnt--instead I tried to sleep. I finally passed out around 5:30, woke up 12:30 (but a ton of tossing and turning in between).

Today like I said, I'm not any better. I still have that THROBBING pain. And yet again, theres more blood when I go pee than there is on the pad. And its VERY painful to pee today...

I'm gonna call mom right away and see if dad works any late shifts this week and see if she can sneak me in to the docs SOON :blink:

*sigh* how I wish one of these towns had a walk-in clinic :(

Oh Lisa.. You poor thing. It sounds like a bladder infection. Have they checked your kidneys. If I remember right you had an infection a few months ago.

Definitely go to the doctor.

Thanks hun! :) I'm still not feeling any better--still cant sleep, still cant barely eat, still in awful pain. So tomorrow will have to do I guess :blink: As long as i get something for the pain, it dont even matter to me already what they give me or what testing they do. Because its totally making school impossible to focus... :unsure:

No actually another 46 days til Foothills. The guy today was just useless. He was some family doc i never saw before and he gave me a couple prescriptions of things I've had before and said "not much this Canora doctor can do" (which really is true if you think about it). And that was it. And he was sympathetic, he said "thats gotta be rough for you" -- at least he dont think i'm making it up! Blah....

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
