:angry: ok so i just need to vent, we went to the GI doctor yesterday after he doubled over twice at preschool. They did more xrays and everything came back fine. They got the results back from his scope and everything came back normal they said. They even told me that he did not have a problem with lactose (but he can not handle any kind of dairy besides cheese). I dont understand they sent me home with a pain med to help if he doubled over again but when i looked that up on webmd i am not comfortable giving it to him. The GI dr told us the next thing we should do is go see an allergy dr and get him tested that way, but i dont think i am ready to put him though that. I asked them to fax everything to his main dr and made a appt with them today she see what she thinks. He is already back off the gluten. I dont know what to do, i am so lost and upset that everything is showing norm and we still have no answer of why he cant go to the bathroom, why he has these mood swings, and why his poor little tummy is hurting so much. I dont want him to go though what i have gone though for 24 years. :angry:

I'm sorry i just needed a place to vent where other people understand what we are going though. thanks

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I have read your posts before. It sounds as though you have had him gluten free before, and if you are going to go back to the gluten free lifestyle with him, then it must work! You do what you know is right, he is your child. We celiac's go through false negative testing all the time. Sometimes, the results are only as good as the person reading the tests.

Dr. Peter Green was speaking at one of our celiac support meetings and was telling us about a patient who had an endoscopy done five times over five yrs with his own doctor. That doctor told him every year that he was fine, the test came back negative for celiac disease, the villi looked good. Dr. Green requested all 5 tests be sent to him and he told showed this man flatten villi on every single test, from 5 yrs back. His original doctor had no idea what he was looking at!!! How sad is that?????

So, don't give up. If your son is better on a gluten free diet, then live with that. Many people are gluten intolerant, and not celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
