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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
