Hello everyone first time on here need some feed back very scared and confused.I started getting sick about a year and half ago.I started out with diarrhea pain in left side of belly.I was also bloating really bad and the only way I could get rid of the gas was using a suppository every day.I finally got into see a gastro doc he did a endoscopy and said I was red and irritated in my stomach.He made me an appt for a colonoscopy He gave me the stuff to drink to clean me out and I got half of it down and started throwing up.He wouldn't do the colonoscopy because He was worried I wouldn't be cleaned out enough.I ended up going to the hospital and they did a cat scan with dye and couldn't find any blockages.In the mean time I finally got the pill cam done and that was two weeks ago and still haven't got results back yet.In the mean time I did cut wheat and milk out of my diet and has helped.But thees a huge problem I haven't been able to go to the bathroom by my self for two months. I have had to give myself an enema every 4 days.I still have the pill cam in me.My doctor finally did ex ray and its on lower left side of abdomen.Since I have been having to give myself enemas im really inflamed down there.He prescribed some cream to take swelling away and told me to do sits baths.I still cant get it out tried another enema and now nothing is coming out but water.My doctor wont listen to me.Is it possible I ate wheat and milk for so long and didn't know i was allergic and now my intestines are so inflamed I cant go to bathroom and if that's the case What can I do to heal.By the way I hate my doctor.

It just takes time. I completely understand your frustration. I was unable to use the bathroom for 5 months and it wasnt until about 2 weeks gluten free that I was able to slowly but surely use the bathroom again. I have been gluten free for 4 months now and soy and dairy free for 1 month. I still struggle with constipation but I got so used to not going that I dont really seem to mind the 2 or 3 day periods I cant go. Just stay patient and stay positive! I know it is a difficult road but keep at it and you will figure it out!

So sorry to hear of your difficulty. Take a deep breath... you are going to get through this. I would suggest that you try doing a salt water flush. Open Original Shared Link Here is the link at the website Healthbeyoundhype.com. The salt cleanses the entire digestive system, something an enema won't do. Keep doing it until you get some relief.

Aloe vera juice which is gluten free helps with constipation as does Magnesium Glycinate. Good luck to you.

And if you are able to eat, try a digestive enzyme with each meal. I use enzymedica digest gold. It helps digest food in the stomach so your tract has an easier time. If I take too many per day (3+) I actually get diarrhea.

You may also add a probiotic.

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
