I don't even know if it's a specialty drug or just a new brand name drug. It's Savella, which is technically for fibro but we're going off label. My doc says more than half his patients he gives it to can't tolerate it, because it makes them so nauseous they can't eat. (So far so good for me.) But for the few it helps the results are breathtaking. I'll try just about anything at this point. I'm trying to avoid a 5 day hospital stay for ketamine. :ph34r: But at the same time, I want to preserve what function I have left in my left hand while I can. :)

Proceed with caution!

 

That is the wonder drug that the Fibromyalgia Expert at UCSD trialed on me when I was dx'd Fibro 7 months after Celiac Diagnosis.

Was to titrate up in thirds....

did not make it past the first third

 

Of course no meds have ever worked properly in this f$#%ed up system o' mine.

 

Hope it works for you...but do be careful.

Oh, I'm aware of how awful this drug is. Could make me sicker than a dog. Could cause liver damage. Could do this, that or some other crap. And yet, my next best option is a ketamine treatment. I'm willing to throw as much crap at the barn wall as I can to see if any will stick before going to ketamine. If Savella is scary, the type of ketamine treatment I would get is the stuff of nightmares.

Going to California Pizza Ktichen!

 

Hah, I started something. lol

 

I almost went there but I love the pizza down at Malawi's and wanted to try again. Turns out my husband's favorite local pizza joint closed. Tragic because they had the best pizza in Utah. At least he has lots of options though and found something he liked.

Oh, I was gonna say we stopped by the grocery store and picked up a 12 pack of Vanilla Cream soda. (generic store brand, but it's incredibly good) Since we don't drink we're calling this our beer and pizza night. :lol:

Pizza all around....

 

Went for a 2 hour drive to get the only gluten free pizza I can have, the ones I make myself are really not that good.  We got four pizzas all together.  One for daughter-in-law (taco pizza), one for me (ground beef and green olives) 1 for Hubs (pepperoni and green olives) and brought one home for my son.

I really want to try the california pizza kitchen now that they do gluten-free right.  Do they use the same prebought crust as a lot of other places?  The closest one is an hour away by m rheumatologists office, and I go monday, so I will probably go in and eat if I have time.

I don't know where they get the crust.  I think  all CPKs get the same crust.  I know some chains buy crusts or buns locally.  I think the crust is pretty good for a gluten-free crust.  There are only 4 choices - pepperoni, Margarita, BBQ chicken & spinach and mushroom.  I think you can also get a regular cheese pizza, too.

Made mint jelly today with chocolate mint. So good! What I want for supper is to eat toast and jelly until I'm sick, but I don't think that is a reasonable plan. So, sticking with the original plan, we'll have a pork tenderloin and some sort of veggie type objects. Maybe I'll see if I can find a salad on sale.

Today I am making pizza for dinner.  I think my husband didn't get a real lunch break so he will probably woof it down!

Just tried making a fake pizza last night using a gluten-free tortilla as the crust. It certainly wasn't pizza as I remember it but it was super easy, and the tortilla wasn't so bad because I really don't like gluten-free bread of any type. Because it was thin, I didn't notice the flavor so much.

The best part was that it only took about 10 minutes from the time I started to being able to eat, despite that the tortilla started out frozen. Add some spaghetti sauce and some grated cheese, seven minutes in the oven (375), and I was eating - so rare to have a quick meal these days.

I will definitely do this again, but am kicking myself for not adding some black olives or bell pepper, both of which I have in the house, though it would have added 5-10 minutes to my prep time.

I think the only downside is that the "crust" is so thin that you pretty much have to eat it with a knife and fork.

OOh! OOH I know! I know!!

I love Bonefish grille !! We went Saturday....chilean sea bass with mango salsa, jasmine rice and their new side which was a zucchini/tomato ratatouille type thing (glad they dumped the chickpea thing). The server was great. She asks "want me to check and make sure that's gluten-free? the district manager is back there."... well, sure. thanks so much .... and please bring me another Bombay Sapphire on the rocks with olives on your way back, you sweet girl. :)

 

I skipped the creme brulee this time (I know what am I nutz?)

Our Bonefish has told me twice that that zuchinni thing isn't gluten-free. The waiter last night said it probably is but this kitchen is probably over careful about things that aren't on the gluten-free menu. A bit lazy at thinking for themselves, maybe? That's Ok. I LOVE asparagus!

I do too. I would probably eat asparagus every day if i could lol.... but she said the asparagus was "very thick and chewy tonight"...lol..

I appreciated her honesty. I would never venture off the gluten-free menu myself, but she guaranteed it was after checking in the kitchen with the big guns

people--and I had no issues with it.

I'm trying to dump some lbs...and the hubs sends me this. (he is "ice cream man"--our friends gave him  that nickname lol)

He makes me laugh. He thinks he is giving me a subliminal hint to break out the ice cream maker. Subtle eh?

We have a great vanilla bean ice cream recipe that can be a base for 'add-ins", but this looks good too.

Just sharing the idea....especially for those who need some fatter  butt cheeks.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
