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

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?

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

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
