Still Need Answers

I have a rather unfortunate predicament - not only do I have IBS, gluten-intolerance and multiple food sensitivities, but I also have urinary problems and if one ailment gets aggravated so does the other...and If I try to treat one ailment, the other one suffers. Its a vicious cycle and its seems like theres just no hope.

I used to take supplements to treat my prostate and had great success, however, this was before I developed the digestive problems. so now those supplements have an adverse effect. The problem is im just sensitive to everything and I still cant find a happy medium to facilitate my recovery.

To spell it out here's an example...I eat something...constipates me..causes bloat and puts pressure on my bladder...this causes an increase in urination...straining to go to the bathroom puts even more pressure on my prostate and bladder and makes urination even more uncomfortable.

I guess Ideally this can be resolved if I can just have a normal BM every day, but I am yet to find something that works. fiber is a no go, magnesium & laxative type supplements puts my colon in a spastic state and also aggravates my urinary issues...

as you can see I am at a loss. i'd really appreciate any suggestions cause I feel like im living in hell and Im at the point where im so depressed and disgusted with myself that i dont want to work or leave the house

George's Aloe Juice?

jasonD2 Experienced

tried Aloe juice....doesnt agree with me

Was it Georges? All of the irritating properties of the latex are removed leaving the healing properties in tact. I do not tolerate any others, but this really soothes me. I take it anytime my GI gets irritated.

Shay, does George's have a taste to it? Also, do you only drink this when you are having GI issues?

jasonD2 Experienced

Wasnt Georges..Its Lakewood which contains the gel..the latex I believe is from the skin. I'll try the Georges and see if it helps

Jason-

Have you ever heard of Zija?

www.drinklifein.com

Its an amazing natural supplement drink - tastes like green tea - not only helps with nutritional deficiencies it also sooths your gastro tract and aids digestion.

I have tried it and love it. Maybe it will help you?

P.S. I swear I'm not affiliated! :)

George's taste just like purified water. I mean I can tell it isnt just water, but it doesnt really have a taste. If that makes sense. The density is a little different or something, but it tastes just fine. Not bitter at all.

I generally only take it when I feel the need. And I feel it right now. I just picked up a jug this morning. I had some really spicy curry the other night and things just havent felt right since. So I will drink 2 oz in the morning and again in the after noon. Twice a day works good or me. I will take it for about a week or so....

What do you think about Cold Pressed Flax seed oil. I started that recently. Can you tell me if you think it soothes? I feel like it is helping. Thanks

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
