What In The World Is This?

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in June 2007. For a while I have been having elevated temperature (usually 99.2-99.7) and slight swelling in the lower right of my abdomen. The worst part is I get so drowsy, like something heavy on my face. It feels different than the old glutened feeling. Also, I have been very strict with my diet, no cheating. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

My Dr. said I need a Colonoscopy, which would be great if I didn't just get laid off, and I have bad insurance..sigh..she said it could be Crohn's. :unsure:

Thanks!!

Has you doctor take a Metabolic Panel? That to me would be the first place to start. It may show some direction to your issues.

A doc we once went to said a colonoscopy can't always tell you everything and they are expensive. Better research it more and wait for all those good posts coming up.

The swelling and the drowsy feeling makes me wonder if maybe you might have the same thing going on that I did a year or so ago. For me it turned out to be a combination of an allergy and intolerance to soy. I had virtually replaced gluten in my diet with soy, didn't do it on purpose it just happened. After lots of tests, some with really adverse reactions (I had an allergic reaction to the prep for a colonoscopy) it was out of desperation that I had testing done by enterolab that pinpointed the soy reaction. Within days of eliminating the soy the swelling was gone and my energy was back up. I can't say the same applys for you but you may want to think of eliminatating soy and casien and seeing if it helps.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
