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.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.
