I am just asking for positive vibes and energy for my father, he was slightly out of it this Sunday, Monday things got worse, he fell, so my mom took him to the ER, they say it was probably minor stokes. He isn't completely aware of what is going on, but they ran lots of tests. They are keeping him in the hospital, but i'm worried about him. Yesterday he couldn't find his car in the parking lot so I had to go pick him up at work. Just now talking with him he told me to make sure I did my homework... I've been out of school for 4 years. I'm very worried and scared.

When thinking about my celiac it seems so trivial when thinking about the stuff that going on in my dad's head.

I'm still down here, my mom told me there is nothing I can do if I were to come home. He is in CMC still, they keeping him until they know for sure what It was and if it was some new meds they but him on that caused it. I was home on monday when he couldn't find his car in the parking lot at work so i had to pick him up. I will probally be coming home again this weekend, unless my mom tells me not to. I have the 4-8th off so I will be home for a long time then.

My mom said that they were expecting more news from the nurologist this morning, but haven't heard yet.

It's day 3 and they still have no answers on what happened. They arn't even sure that it was a stroke anymore. They ran lots and lots of tests, and the best they can say is they think that some drug he was taking interfered with another drug, and caused his blood pressure to drop and loose his balance. They arn't addressing the fact he has no memory of monday at all, or that he ever was confused. They can't even tell us what drugs interacted... he's on almost 10 prescriptions. My mom hasn't been able to talk to the nurologist, she gets there 7 in the morning, but the doc has allready come in and out.. they tell my dad stuff, and by the time she gets there, he can't remember it all. His other doctors have come by, but mostly just to check in. She dosen't think that any of them are talking to each other, so no one is really understanding all his problems. I am getting so frustrated, I keep telling my mom to go and ask to see his chart. She needs to find out what he is being tested for, make sure he is being tested for things like B12 deficency or celiac! (had to throw that in). I am about 2 hours away, I can't go see him and demand these things for him, I need to work. Just really frustrated.

On the plus side, my mom had her Dr appointment today and she has blood test script for the Celiac Panel. My mom is not too happy with it, but our doc told her "Dr Anna" (that's me) insisted that she get tested. She is having really bad leg cramps, and while she is avoiding wheat, she isn't gluten-free at all. Tuesday she ate a PBJ sandwich, and the next day she woke up with a migrane and vomiting. I told her it was the wheat, my mom said just stress over my dad.

Anyway thanks for letting me rant... I am really stressed over this!

Sunny,

Sorry to hear your having such a time of it :( We had problems with communications when my dad was in hospital with a head injury. Pin the doctors down by phone if you have too to get information or have your mom do it. She needs to get the info directly from them instead of through your dad under the circumstances. Give the nurses what for on the lack of communication and demand to be put into touch with someone that knows what's going on and what's been tested. Sometimes you have to be really witchy to get info out of hospitals.

Hey all, my dad came home yesterday. They say they don't actually think it is a stroke, they are just going on the assumption that his BP medication was too high and this new medication they put him on interacted with some other medication he was on, and he got disoriented and dizzy. I don't like how they are saying, we can't find anything else wrong, so this is what we assume happened. But he is home and my mom says he is getting back to normal (which wasn't too great to begin with actually). Thanks everyone for letting me vent and sending your prayers and support.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
