Good to have you back Lister:

It sounds to me that you have the flu.

Let me suggest something that will help you feel better, but if it is the flu, it has to run it's coarse.

Get your girlfriend to get you some Dimetapp PM, or Dimetapp-Flu. It may make you feel more comfortable. (gluten free as well)

Sometimes, when we get sick we blame everything on celiac. We are subject to all the "bugs" out there as well as other people, and perhaps more.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Dimetapp will help those symptoms as well. It has been a staple in my house when my girls were growing up.

Hope you get a good night sleep and feel better in the morning.

I can't answer that question, but I do know that it is gluten free. Perhaps you should call you dr. in the morning and get a recommendation.

You might want to check out www.glutenfreedrugs.com.

I had a nasty cold recently and I took something called Old Indian Cherry Bark Syrup. It was really helpful. I also resorted to Tylenol Cold a couple times. I'm highly sensitive to gluten and dairy and I get stomach aches from nearly all medication but it never gave me a stomach ache. I didn't do anything to verify it's gluten-free/df status though beyond reading the box.

hate beeing sick, especially since im not allowed to call into work (hell i puked 3 times this morning while taking orders(from coughing so much)) so its really really hard on my body to feel sick

As something safe that might help your throat, you might want to try peppermint tea with honey.

Other than that (and I'm hesitant to give this advice), your best bet in terms of a medication might be to pick one from the gluten free drugs website and then read the ingredients carefully for dairy or anything else you might not want in your body.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
