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)))))

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
