Out Of Surgery


TTNOGluten

Recommended Posts

Well have been gluten free for months with little improvement in symptoms, 3 days ago had gallbladder surgery due to continued pain in the upper belly with radiation through into my back and shoulder. Prior to surgery had u/s and hida scan, u/s showed polyps but hida was OK, but one of my gi docs and surgeon were convinced my gallbladder was playing a role. So had surgery, sore as hell yet, and got a call saying that I have chronic cholecystitis with cholesterolosis(strawberry gallbladder), surgeon said my gallbladder was a mess, covered in fatty adhesions and inflamed. I am hoping this helps with some of my symptoms

anyone else with anything similar, still having tremendous pain following surgery, hard to tell what it related to celiac and what may be related to gallbladder??

I had my gallbladder out the friday before Thanksgiving, and it was just this week that I'm feeling back to pre-GB issues level. So give yourself some time to heal! Hopefully the docs are right, and you'll be feeling better soon. I was still eating a very bland (NO FAT!) diet for about a week after. Just take the time to heal.

Hope you feel better soon!

I cant say anything about the gall bladder, I just wanted to wish you a good recovery, give yourself time to heal, and I hope this helps you out. Sending out healing thoughts and big hugs. B)

I had my gallbladder removed years before I started having celiac issues and it was a long long recovery for me. I had alot of pain and nausea for weeks afterwards, I know people who had very smooth recoveries but I was not one of them. Hope things settle down for you.

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source.

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.
