Celiac Disease? Not If It Is

[Doyle]

Hello,You Good People

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:

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.
