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.

      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.
    • growlinhard1
      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
