Hi to everyone,

My name is Wendy and I am new to this forum, and not very computer literate. I just wanted to introduce myself, and to say I hope I am doing this right.

I have multiple food allergies, but especially gluten and dairy, and a disease that effects the bladder. It is called interstitial cystitis, or IC. I am particularly wondering if any celiacs or wheat-allergic folks have bladder issues, as I think there is a link.

Anyone have any thoughts on the subject, or is there a better forum to communicate this topic?

Hey Wendy:

Welcome to the forum. You will find a vast amount of information here.

I do not have blatter issues, but you may try to do a search here on the forum. Find the search area and type in blatter issues. Perhaps you can find some old posts, with the information your requested.

Just want to let you know that sometimes on the weekend, the site is quiet. Mondays get active.

Glad you have found us.

Hi Wendy

I too have bladder problems. the drs didnt give me a final diagnosis of IC but they think it might be it. i had a cystoscopy and bladder stretching procedure because i was having a lot of burning when i peed and peeing a lot. apparently my bladder was half the size of a normal person. it sort of felt like i often had a uniary tract infection but didnt. the procedure was painful but i was better after for like 6 months. lately i have having the buring again sometimes......have you had any bladder procedures done?

Wendy,

Happy to have you here!! This board is such a great place, and you'll almost always find someone in a similar boat, for better or for worse ;)

Or, click on the different "areas" (coping with, recipes, pre diagnosis, etc.) and you can see all the topics in each area.

hope this helps a bit...let us know what else we can do!

I'm brand new here too and I find it pretty confusing! You an I are quite alike, because I too have multiple food allergies (not JUST gluten...which makes eating quite depressing...) and I have bladder problems! Aren't bladder problems quite annoying at night? haha...well anyways....hopefully we'll both figure out the site soon.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
