Ibd Flareup, First In 3 Months

I think my IBD diet is the reason why I haven't had one of these flareups in 3 months, but i think its all 3 months combined. You all know I can normally tough this stuff out, but I've been in tears all day long. I can't sleep, I cant even sit in the same spot for too long without breaking into tears.

I'm about to leave for my 3 hour class, so I'm going to go a bit early and make sure I get a seat close to the door and tell my teacher before class that if I get too bad I'll just leave. I'll also ask one of the ladies if I can borrow her notes (because I expect to spend a lot of time crying in the bathroom).

And in case you are wondering, I'm not going to bother with the ER here in Regina, I'll somehow have to live until 10 pm tomorrow night when I go home on the bus to Canora, and go to the hospital. At least I know they'll give me something for the pain...

Lisa, I have been gluten-free since April of 2007 and was doing great. Then, the beginning of this year, all my gastritis, ibs etc. symptoms came back, horribly horribly. I sat down and recognized I was getting these symptoms and others even when eating gluten-free food, and began to wonder if I had problems with other foods. I've been on an elimination diet for a month. Within the first three days, ALL my stomach pain was gone, as well as my watery/itchy eyes and runny nose. I've been adding food in slowly. Good on dairy (yeah!), but allergic to chocolate, eggs, so far. Chocolate?

Lisa do you think maybe all the recent changes and stress in your life could have caused it?

I'm not sure, manda...it may have been part of it. I also did eat a bit of meat before then :/

By the way, I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. The nurse who was there said "I haven't seen you in awhile", and I said "Yeah, kinda surprising isn't it?" she answered "Yes it is". How's that for a clue that I've been in the hospital too much??

It was the new doc, who I now like having as a doctor. He got the basic bloodwork done, felt around on the stomach, took a urine sample...of course everything was negative. I am still supposed to collect a couple stool samples, which I was supposed to give to them this weekend, BUT i haven't 'gone' since Friday afternoon so the samples will have to wait until this weekend, which is fine I'm sure. He is concerned about it, but said it's hard to give me any treatment without me having any diagnosis. So he said take Buscopan 3 times a day, and do whatever I've been doing now to to keep these flareups under control. Also said if I get bad again to go to the hosp here in Regina, if I can't get to Canora, and get them to phone to Canora hospital.

I did some research online and in my Crohn's book and it says that heat from either a heating pad or hot water bottle can help. So I have been trying that, too. I will be so happy once this flare dies down... :(

I didn't realize the post was a few days old when I first replied, how are you doing today? I don't have the same pain you have so I cannot compare but I do use the heating pain and it helps relax my cramps/pain. I also like to take warm baths....very relaxing.

Hope you are feeling better! :)

It's ok, I'm just glad someone DID reply! Because I always get pretty upset when I get these flareups since I feel so out of control.

I'm still "on fire", no doubt about that. Throw some arthritis into the mix and I didn't fall asleep until 5 am last night (or i guess...this morning?). Hopefully I won't have to go to the bathroom until I'm back at the apartment though, so I can at least collect my sample!

I'm currently drinking my daily dose of Tim Horton's coffee so maybe that will make me feel a little better. Nothing better than a good ol' caffeine buzz ;)

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
