I'm Really Confused!

Hi everyone!! I have been feeling really lousy for about a month, where at first I would get very sick just a few minutes after eating supper foods, but mostly pasta, and have to run to the washroom. Then my stomach is so irritated after eating many foods I didn't know what to do. So I went to the doctor, and he immediently thought it was Celiac Disease. I had blood tests takes two days ago, and also stool samples. Since they had to be sent away to the nearest city, I have to wait at least a week. I feel so gross, and I haven't been able to keep anything down so I am tired and weak :( Would anyone be able to help me with whether or not they think that it is Celiac Disease, and PLEASE give me ANY tips for foods that may make me feel okay after eating (which seems very impossible as my stomach didn't even want Soup Broth), or tips of what I can do to just feel better. I appreciate all of this as I am just a teen and it's all so confusing for me!!

I can't give you an answer on whether you have celiac disease, but given your complaints, it sounds very possible. :(

As far as safe foods go, when i was really sick, the foods that worked for me were

jello

plain rice, maybe with some homemade (or any gluten free) chicken broth

tea

hot rice ceral with a little honey (like cream o' rice, just make sure the ingredients don't include wheat, oats, barley or gluten)

more tea

apple sauce

with ANY thing, if you suspect celiac, make sure it is gluten free.

good luck honey, keep posting. I know this board has been a warm hearth in a dark night for every one of us.

Libby,

Thanks so much for your reply! Since I posted my message today, I was wondering if ANYONE would respond! I went out to the movie tonight and it was the first time I've been out of the house since Tuesday afternoon, and I was feeling fine until I got to the theater and my boyfriend got me to eat a little since I've barely eaten all week.

I was so hungry at supper that I cut up fresh strawberries, kiwi, oranges and pineapple and ate that. I managed to eat a little before I was scared to continue. It's just been really tough these past weeks, and I've never wanted to have something stop so quickly. I keep thinking about if I have Celiac...it's gonna drive me crazy to give up my favorite foods!!

This next week is gonna be the hardest of my life and I don't know how I'm gonna get through it! My boyfriend has been great, but I know it's boring for him to stay inside with me day after day since I feel too yucky to go out!

I've also been extremely tired because I can't sleep either because I'm owrried or because I'm running to the bathroom 8 times a night. Also on my mind...what if it's not Celiac?? Then what? I know that something is REALLY wrong with me and I'm worried that they won't be able to find out what it is!

I've been stressed enough the past year, and this isn't helping one little bit! The week has been okay not having to worry about school (a few days off) but going back to school Monday is gonna be so hard. I'm also supposed to go to Cancun with my boyfriend for Easter, and I'm stressed about not feeling better! I just feel AGGGHH! PLEASE help!!

Daisy-

Not sure i have any wise words for you, excpet we have all been there. :rolleyes: I know how scary it is to not know what is wrong with you, and feel so crummy. Are you able to keep foods in you at all? Even basic ones? How did eating the fruit go? I can imagine all that fuit being really acidic on a tender tummy.

I know the thought of giving up favorite foods is hard. for me, I am grateful that mine disease got SO bad all of a sudden. Like an alcoholic, I have truly hit bottom. I went from a vibrant, strong (if nearly always nauseaus) happy 23 year old, to a weak, vomiting, passing out miserable kitten. Overnight. Two trips to the emergency room and a night in the hospital later, I was truly ready to embrace WHATEVER treatment there was.

We (my family) are all pretty sure my older sister has it, but since her version is more chronic, and les acute than mine, she is less than vigorous with the diet. <_< I have no doubt, and so have no ambiguity in my diet. I am still making mistakes, but having "hit bottom" there is NO cheating for me. I know where that goes, and I HATE being helpless.

I think it is pretty natural that you feel stressed out. When you feel crappy, it is stressful, and when life is stressful, you feel crappy. Vicious cycle, eh?

Good luck in school! Having to function when feeling crummy is so hard. sometimes it makes me feel worse, but sometimes it is good, takes my mind off of things. How long until easter? damn. Again, good luck.

peace

Libby

Libby,

Thanks again for your advice. Easter break is in about a month, and I'm looking forward to it because it will be nice to get away, but also not, because I'm worried that I might not feel better.

The fruit was a little hard on my stomach, but it was better than anything else. I'll try some tea today, and see how that helps my stomach. I'm one day closer to knowing, which is great. I'll let you know how things go!

how long do you have to wait for your test results? Is your family supportive? Nothing like being really sick for a longer than a day to let you know how people really feel.

Peace to your belly

The test results should be back late in the week. I have family problems, so I do not recieve a lot of support so that makes it even harder, but my boyfriend and his mom are really good to me!! Instead of me pushing away food, she always has fresh fruit and she's making me tea.

I'm really ancy about the results, and I hope they find out what's wrong soon, because I really want to be healed :(

Hi Libby.

I just wanted to let you know that my mom called the hospital yesterday and they still haven't recieved my results back yet. It's frustrating because it hasn't been a good week, and I can't wait to get this confusion over with.

Lame. I think it helps to keep calling, and asking and saying hello and remindeing them you exist. they don't let time go by onp urpose, but I got the fastest action when my dad (very nicely) harrased the hospital people, to keep my name on the top of the pile. hold in there.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse.

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
