Well This Really Stinks

I thought I got glutened a few days ago so I just was toughing it out with the nausea, vomiting and terrible lower abdominal pain.

But 6 days later I was getting worse and last night I started having horrible pain in my lower tummy area and my lower back. It also hurt to pee so I thought I better go to the doc.

Not only do I have a bladder infection, but because I let it go so many days it has spread to my kidneys and is extremely painful.

We CANNOT win with the flucking flacking disease!!!!! If we go in and it's a glutening we are hypochondriacs or whatever. But now I don't go in to the doc thinking it's just a glutening and end up with a horrible infection.

Can I just scream????? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thanks. I feel better now.

Oh no! Feel better soon! I know how you feel though...I always wait til the last minute to go to the doctor because I'm never 100% sure it's not a glutening.

You poor thing--I'm so sorry :(

I read your popcorn thread, and actually thought you had a stomach virus but hesitated to say anything for the same reason :lol: Sometimes we can't win for losing!

Anywho--hope you feel better soon :)

Oh so sorry to hear that! I know just what you mean - I get this weird pain right where my kidneys are when I get glutened, sometimes, and I DID go to the doctor the first time, and yup - tests got nothing, so it must be in my head.

Can't win for losing, sometimes, you're absolutely right. <_<

HOpe that you recover quickly and smoothly, with lots of yummy food along the way.

Yes you can scream!!!! SO sorry to hear that!!! I actually brought a urine sample into my GI when I first had my flare (almost 2 months ago) because I don't have a GP in my new town yet. He told me to throw it out. The symptoms of Celiac (lower abdominal and back pain) are SO similar to UTI's. We're damned of we do and damned if we don't. Hang in there!!! Are you on antibiotics and rare we allowed cranberry juice on our diet?

Sending healing (((((HUGS)))))

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption? 
    • knitty kitty
      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
