Now I've Done It

Hello Everyone

I'm new here, but I've been reading posts for about a month.

Here's my story- I've had digestive issues ALL of my life and I'm 54. A few months ago I went on the South Beach diet, and they miraculously disappeared! I cheated, and started feeling sick again. I just happened to read a blog written by someone with Celiac, and it sounded very much like me. Since then I've been doing a lot of reading.

I have an appointment with my doctor at the end of this month, where I will ask to be tested. I've been sure to eat gluten everyday. Yesterday I WAY over did it, and I've been sick as a dog since. I feel like I'm burned from my lips all the way to the other end( without being graphic).

Up until now, I haven't had many episodes of diarreah, just terrible bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. I made up for it in a big way today!!

Make sure to atleast eat the equiv of 4 slices of bread a day.

How long have you been not eating gluten...normally when you do a gluten challenge, it's for longer than a month.

I also wanted to know for sure and did the testing.

I hope you find your answers.

I've been back on gluten since the beginning of December. I'll try gluten again tomorrow, but NOT today.

THat's good(well not so good feeling I'm sure but atleast you have a better chance at having a "true" test)

Good Luck with your testing!

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.
