Not Celiac Related, But My Husband Is Really Sick

He has had a bad cold/throat/cough thing the last couple of weeks. Went into the doctor right after christmas, was told he just had a virus, and would be better soon. Mostly now he just has the cough. What I'm concerned about is the fact that he's had horrible D for several days, where he's just running back and forth to the bathroom (night and day!). Is this typical for what everyone else has been sick with this year? Even worse, am I going to be going through that when I get over the cold part? How do I know when I need to be worried? Thanks all!

My youngest Daughter had the same sort of thing, with diarrhea as well. So, it is entirely possible that your husband has the same problem, and it will pass. If the diarrhea doesn't get better by the time the doctor's office is open again next week, I'd take him back.

That definitely does happen with some viruses. Make sure he stays well hydrated, and (as tomorrow is Friday), I'd at least call the doc and leave word. If it's not resolved by Tuesday, he should absolutely call the doctor back about it. It's tricky with the long holiday season, but if he stays hydrated and fed, he'll likely be alright. Keep an eye on him, of course.

Hope he's feeling better soon!

Both my husband and I have this now. He has it worse than I do--and had diarrhea for several days. I had it the first day, and yesterday only. (!)

The other symptoms like sore throat and coughing are hanging on longer for us.

As long as he is well hydrated, he should be ok. I think with a virus, it's better to let it run it's course and let the body expel what is has to. Is he trying to eat some binding foods like bananas?

Definately have him see the doctor if it goes on too long.

If the diarrhea doesn't stop in 3-4 days from onset he should take immodium to stop the "cycle" of diarrhea.

Sweetfudge,

I hope your husband feels better soon...please post and let us know!

Patti-you poor thing. I hope you and hubby feel better soon! Like you need this!

Whatever this cold thing is, I got sick with it Christmas day and am battling it, too. I can sympathize. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery to all!

xoxo

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
