More Of A Rant Than Anything

I'm sorry of using this board as a rant, but I need to vent and my family is sick of listening to me. I have 2 days to go till I go to my Dr. to find out the result of my bloodtest. I'm miserable....I have no energy and no interest in anything. I've been sick for so long, I don't even remember what "normal" feels like. I just want to feel better. :( I pray my doctor diagnoses me with something... anything.... (although I am fully convinced I have celiac)

Once again- sorry for the rant, but this group is so supportive!

Feel free to rant away. Most of us feel the need to do that every once in a while. I'm sorry that you are feeling so bad and I hope you find the answers when you go to the doctor. :)

uff, yeah, I remember how long that wait was for a diagnosis. I certainly hope you get some answers and that if isn't celiac it is treatable!

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I know what it is like... feeling sick of being sick... I hope that the doctors find out what is wrong. Keep us posted.

We understand! Let us know how your tests go. I was diagnosed in Feb and know my husband gets tired of me talking about my celiac at times--and probably this board too ! :P

This board was made for ranting! I for one am thankful to have found this board because it provides the opportunity to get things off your chest and speak to others who know how you feel. I look at this forum as therapy and I can't begin to imagine how I would deal with this disease if it wasn't for the internet and this board.

Rant away all you want.......And I hope you get good news and feel better!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
