Celiac Disease? Not If It Is

Hello,You Good People :D

First of all i'm so glad i found this board!

Second you will have to forgive me on my spelling and grammar being country boy still leaning computer language!

The symptom i have are odd so the doctors i have in counter over the year they look at me like I'm some alien when i tell them what i m going threw.

When i eat anything sweet or paste is when i have these spell are i have started to call them

When i wake in the morning i'm sore like i am every morning we will get to that in min.

My face turn a beat red more of fire engine red i get supper hot mainly in my face and next .

I feel very hot like running fever hot to touch all i can do is lat down and pray they will go away.

I also get short of breath and some time feel like my lung are on fire as well.

It has cause me to have asthma attack in the pass it take every thing out or me all i want to do is sleep when this happens .

Also when i urinate the smell is horrible will almost knock you off your feet!

They can last any where from 30 mins to two hours i feel like there some kind of drug knocking me out i can keep awake at these times.

The reason for the pain is i have four screws and four bolts and two plates in my back where i had back surgery four years ago.

In this time i have taken loritab the whole time i was wondering if the drugs could done something to me over the years to cause this.

Its been happening for at least two year now maybe longer i really need to find out what going on with me before it kills me or puts me in coma!

Thank you D

I am going to make 2 suggestions. One it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor for a celiac panel. Second and perhaps more important is that you see an allergist. The reactions you are having sound like they could be allergic reactions. Do check and see before you make an allergist appointment to see if they will help with doing an elimination diet or test you for intolerances.

You need to see a doctor. If the doctor you're seeing has had you on Lortab for four years, then you need to think about seeing a different doctor. Here's the story on Lortab; it's the exact same material that's on the package insert, except it's large enough to read:

Open Original Shared Link

To see side effects, scroll down to the first sidebar on the left and click on Side Effects.

The stinky pee could be due to the Lortab; urine retention is one of the listed side effects and that would probably do it. The main concern is dependency, though, and four years is an awfully long time. What did you do to your back?

Regardless, welcome. It's possible that you have celiac disease; as ravenwoodglass points out, a doctor can give you a blood test that would be the start toward finding out. But think about seeing a different doctor, and think about whether there are alternatives to Lortab. I certainly don't want to see you in pain, but I don't want to see you addicted either. Best of luck.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
