Missed A Funeral...

Because of this stupid fricking disease i had to miss my grandads funeral. I am in tears, with a hot water bottle, wondering what the point of my pathetic life is at the moment. I had been feeling ok for a couple of days and was really excited that i would be able to manage the 5hours travelling, but no i woke up, stomach cramps to the point of not walking, cystitus, and loose bm's, no appetite either. My dad thought it was appropraite to shout at me over the phone (he still thinks i just have a lacto intolerance, not celiac....we don't speak much) but all that shouting made my pain so much worse, and it's my partners birthday, i feel like im having the worse day :( I tried everything to make things right and it just turned out a big mess.

Sorry i just needed to vent and need some comfort I think, i know you guys are the only people who come close to understanding what it's like...

Again apologies

I'm sorry for your loss and that you are having to deal with a glutening on top of everything else. You don't need to apologize for venting, you are going through a lot right now.

(((HUGS))) Better to stay home when you aren't feeling well. I have a feeling your dad was just going to yell, better over the phone than in person.

Sorry to hear about your loss. A few months ago my god-mother and a cousin both passed. I made it to one wake and missed both funerals. At that time I realized I had to get this celiac/gluten stuff under control. The point I am making here is as time goes by remember this event and use it as a source of strength to stay vigilant in keeping yourself as healthy as you can so you don't miss future events.

Stay strong, stay healthy...

So sorry to hear of your loss..and that you had to miss the funeral. When you're feeling that bad, the best place for you is at home and in bed.

I hope you will forgive your Dad's behavior? When there's been a death in the family it affects everybody differently. Hopefully, it was just stress making him act so unkind?

(((hugs)))

I am so sorry! The loss of a loved one, the stress of a parent yelling at you, and sick and discouraged on top of it all! Don't forget that in order to be any good to anybody, we need to be good to ourselves first. Take care of yourself and try to remember that your grandfather would understand, and that your father was out of line but stressed by the loss, so don't dwell on what he said.

Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug from all of us here. Then get some rest, and here's hoping you feel better soon.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
