What's Wrong With Me Now?

So after going gluten free, my symptoms had cleared up for the most part. Then I found out that I was lactose intolerant, so I went off dairy and I've been pretty stable. Recently, everything seemed to change. It started a week ago that everything went down hill. I started to have this constant urge to urinate and have a bowel movement. I used to go once a day pretty well and I was fine. Now, I not only go once a day, but I go almost everytime after I eat or feel my gut gurgle or start snapping at me with pain. I get pain, constantly, on my right and left side right near my hop joints. I can feel it if I press my fingers in just a little where it hurts like a bruise. When I do go to the bathroom, I notice that a lot of my food isn't digested so I'm loosing all my nutrients and because I urinate so often, I don't drink enough - but when I do urinate, I go as if I drank gallons of liquid.

I don't know what's wrong with me and I just want it to stop because I'm feeling very weak and very tired. I know I'm not getting enough vitamins and minerals due to my excretions but I don't know what to do. Sometimes it takes me long to digest food as well.

I'm torn between a lot of 'maybe its this' and 'what ifs'. If anyone, someone can suggest something, I'd really really appreciate it. Thank you.

I wonder if you don't have some kind of yeast or other micro biologic infection in your bowel.

I think it might help to outline what you eat and drink day to day, and what supplements and/or medications you take.

Have you visited your doctor about this? You may need to have stool samples taken to see if you have picked up food poisoning and to check out other things that might cause this. It could be another intolerance rearing it's head but it could also be something else. Please call the doctor tommorrow and let them know what is going on.

I'm going to see if he's a avaliable tomorrow to get it checked out. I discussed everything with my brother in law today and he said it may even be my gallbladder because he went through a similar thing. Plus, I googled it and a lot of the symptoms match my problems, especially with the regurgitation of undigested food.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
