I thought maybe you could help me figure ot what is wrong with me......you all are very knowledgeable and your insight might be very helpful.

When i wake up i feel hungover and really tired. I have had upper abdominal tenderness on my right side along my ribcage. have burning eyes a lot of the time and nausea usually just right when i wake up. When my stomach feels real sore i have a really dry mouth. My legs feel weak and stiff off and on, stiff neck and if i overexert myself, my stomach will get really tender (in the area of the liver). My thyroid has gone from 1.3 to 2.16 and i have an elevated liver enzyme of 52 (ALT) and all of the other enzymes are on the upper normal. I do have an H.Pylori infection (Biohealth) and abundant E. Coli. I am worrried if my liver is in danger. My ALT went from 26 to 52 in about 6 months and my liver is always really tender. I eat extremely simple and clean, so gluten is most likely not the problem. Before all of these problems started, even celiac disease, I got really sick where i was vomitting and pooping blood. I went to the hhospital and the bleeding stopped and they said i had the stomach flu. I have never been the same since. My brainfog has improved, but my body feels beat down. Im only 27. The best way i can describe how i feel is toxic. My eyes are always red and irritated, dry mouth, nausea, weak, upper abdominal tenderness (worse on empty stomach), moody. And my adrenals are out of whack. High cortisol in the morning and night, but normal in the day. Cortisol/Dhea ratio 9:1. Please help

Hello Wayne,

I have been reading your posts for a while now, and I feel so bad for you. Alot of what you said, is the way that I feel. Have the Drs ever checked to see if your gallbladder is still functioning? I know that when I was at my sickest, my liver functions were abnormal, and within the following months, it was removed, but....I still didn't feel better. I recently started seeing a ND, who I think has helped me to some degree. I am still loaded with fungal overgrowth and it is doing a number on my entire system.

Have you ever been tested for that? It seems like something toxic is pouring into your system and making you feel like crap...And I know, you're scared and fustrated. I get the weakness in my legs at times, muscles pains, tenderness in my abdomen. Do you have any Dr at this point that you think might be able to test you for foods that you might be allergic to? I hope you get some answers soon, and that you'll be on your way to feeling better. :)

H pylori can do a number to you along with ecoli. Also, when your body is overun by something it gives other things that may have been held in check the opportunity to proliferate.

I really recommend coming over to the OMG I Might Be On To Something thread and posting your story there. Some there have had h pylori and can see if their symtpoms match with yours or not. There are so many variables it could be or it might just be these two things you're dealing with.

Sounds like you need liver support. A good naturopath/holistic doctor or LLMD will be able to suggest what would be best.

I would also recommend muscle testing if you aren't against alternative treatment......in particular one called ART (autonomic response testing). If you are in the west it would be pretty easy to track down someone who does that, I'm guessing your in the SW or south midwest by an earlier picture you had. ART will tell you what your stressors are at this time and also what will be most effective in dealing with and supporting the body while treating it.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
