Hospital With Glutening?


CeliacAlli

Recommended Posts

CeliacAlli Apprentice

I have never gone to the hospital because of a glutening. Not because it wasn't bad enough(it certainly is painful and achy, vomit and diarrhea filled) but I didn't know that they could do anything for me other than provide a bed and puke bucket. Sorry if I sound rude I am really not trying to be. What can they do for you to make you feel better?

well

as someone who has just been to the hospital let me tell you! Now, not all hospitals are as nice as this one, and my reactions are more than just puking and d....I also pass out and occasionally start talking crazy ( which I never remember) but the hospital always immediately starts an IV to replenish the fluids, gives me something to stop the vomiting and then a pain medication b/c my stomach seizes up for hours even after the vomiting stops...anyways, I would never go just for d or even throwing up, but usually when I pass out it scares my hubby pretty good enough to get me there quick so they can help...But seriously if you get sick enough they can at the very least stop the vomiting and d and help with the pain after...if you get intense pain after! its no fun for sure but sometimes when the pain is bad enough desperate times call for desperate measures!

I have passed out and my stomach seizes for soooooooo long I feel like I have no hope left, I have been puking before for up to 10 days because of a glutening. I'm not talking like one time after another but a really bad spell 6 hours and another one. Another symptom is this shaking and excessive sweating, so I am really glad to know that if it lasts 3-4 days as usual I can go and have something done about it seen that most of the time I cannot eat or drink anything(which obviously causes dehydration). So thanks for the info! :huh:

In addition to the things already mentioned, they can also give you an oral steroid. It helps to prevent they symptoms from dragging out over multiple days, which I have had happen. But only when I was bad enough to end up in the ER due to the dehydration side of things.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
