Tmi Question Sorry :(


Glutenfreefamily

I cant call it sciatica since its literally everywhere on my body. Its a horrid feeling. When I have diarrhea from gluten or any other intolerance my arms, legs, back, butt all the way down to my fingers feels like Im having an emg and my nerves are on high alert and being highly stimulated while I am on the pot. It hurts alot. I literally shake because it hurts so much for that few minutes. Does anyone know what this is or have this? I have had this for years and havent mentioned it to my dr but its starting to make me wonder if this is something I should mention.

I have had recent mri's with contrast for another problem and my mri showed no abnormalities.

Thanks :)

I think doctors have a wonderful way of not getting you to tell them all of your problems, sometimes, perhaps subconsciously. Not mentioning everything with me that isn't going exactly right is one of my pet peeves about myself and I don't even mind when they look at me like I'm crazy. We seem more able to talk about the ears, nose and throat than other parts of our bodies and when you think about it, that's kind of ridiculous, unless you're actually having an upper respiratory ailment. It takes a lot of courage to tell a doc about all your ailments, sometimes, but hella, who's going to benefit from it?

Bestest, Gffamily!

Thanks I see him in January right after the new year for my regular appt. I do have an appt with my ob/gyn so I may mention it to her. I guess I just hate all these medical issues that just pile up it seems they are popping out everywhere and Im just sick of being diagnosed. I know its not a very smart way of going about it but its my little protest ;).

I tried googling it since I self diagnose usually before I go to the dr. but I couldnt find a thing on the net.

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.

      I just recently saw something on this.  Has anyone tried test strips?  Which brand is better?  Not sure how they really work and if they really do work.  Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)
