Doctors Prescribe Respidol

DRUG IS RISPERDAL, NOT RESPIDOL.

I recently went to the doctors and was given the following test:

Test

CBC (inc. diff + plt) [L]

Profile

Comprehensive panel [RB]

Miscellaneous test

Blood C & S with ARD

(To answer my question about the test refer to this link :https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=60247)

_________________________

On top of giving me the test, I have been prescribe .25 Respidol, every 12 hours... and told by the doctors that I can either take it at home or I will be place in a hospital ( moved from Lansing to Grand Rapids) where they will make sure I'm taking that medication. I told my mom ( I'm 17 years old) that I don't want to take such, and recently I have only been talking about improvements of symptoms I've had. I don't see how one would be force to take medication just because they talk about their health problem and figured out what it is. I do suspect base off the test they may find my health problems or at least be alerted ( to know what health problems I'm talking about, need to see the link) and I will immediately be removed from such medication.

Though just as of now I really do not want to take respidol, I've read nothing but horrible things on the drug. Do I really have to take such medication or be force to take it... isn't that beyond ones own rights? I even try to stay away from tylenol as much as I can, or any medication for colds ( I do experience runny/ stuff nose sometimes etc... but never been sick with a fever since almost forever) etc... ( unless a must vacine), why would one think taking respidol would be okay for me? Just imagening the side effects is enough for me, though I do suspect if my candida was diagnosed I will be given a perscription to dianogse the candida... and most will experience die off side effects, which is okay to experience.

Can I ask why they put you on the medication? Your symptoms and the medication do not go hand in hand. I know the medication very well and yes it is 100% possible that they would/could put you in the hospital to make sure you take it. It's a safety measure. Also depending on what state you live in, you are still a minor meaning that your parents would be the ones making your medical decisions.

I have no ideal either why they would put me on risperdal. Lately the only thing I have been mentioning to my mom is improvement in symptoms since removing yeast, and how I also think I have candida ( even tested positive for spit test) and was able to invade in me being gluten intolerance. I do not want to take such medications, as I've mention I even avoid taking tylenol when I get headaches. I'm not a threat to anyone or myself all I do is mention my symptoms and how I know it's not in my head. I live in Michigan, I'm 17 years old.

So it's possible that they cant force me simply if my mom say ....his health has been getting better, and I feel as well as he that this medication is not needed.

IM NO LONGER LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TOWARDS THIS QUESTION

I have not been taking this drug at all, and after my blood results came back it now seems that I'm no longer being influenced to take it by anyone. I think now they will start looking into my health.

I am glad to hear that they are taking your health issues a bit more seriously. Do you know what the blood test results were? I had not answered previously but when this medication is prescribed for a genuine need for it it can be a big difference. It is not however something that should be given without a doctor being absolutely certain that it is needed IMHO.

Yeah I'm really glad they lifted off that medication, for I don't need any at all. It was all just a really horrible moment, and still shock with the doctors actions. Well there were a few things ( about 4 or 5 ) below or above the normal range. Though basically it was C02 above average ( 32) and white blood cells below normal ( 2.9).... Yeah I know the ranges are not exotic like 1, .5 etc... but this should still aware them of a health issue I have and speak of.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
