Holy cow! I'm crying again. But this time it's because I found out my friends are organizing a fundraiser so I can get that MRI. I feel TERRIBLE about taking charity - I've always been one to give charity, not recieve it. But I feel wonderful knowing that my friends care about me so much. And it WILL be good to finally find out what this is - even if it turns out to be cancer. At least I'll know.

That's so nice about your friends!

If you are paying cash for the MRI, you might be able to get it cheaper. Someone paying at the time of service costs the hospital less than billing insurance companies or managing people making payments.

Keep trying to eat the things that aren't your worst foods. Not eating just makes you feel worse & messes up your digestion more.

It's not charity when it's from your friends. That's called love. :)

I hope you are able to get your MRI asap! You are so lucky to have such good friends! Don't hesitate to let them help! I know if I had a sick friend I would want to be able to ease their burden! Keep us posted!

"Candida" perhaps. Candida overgrowth can cause a countless number of issues including food intolerance's. I would research that as well.

This sums up what I have read myself .... I say this as I reel from my own issues and Im trying to sort it all out myself.

Gluten intolerance and issues with Candida can overlap and be devastating, unless your aware of BOTH and actively address both problems.

For what its worth.

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Florence. It’s important to clarify, though, that proteins like zein in corn, panicin in millet, and kafirin in sorghum are not considered gluten and have not been shown to trigger the same autoimmune intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. Some people with celiac disease do report symptoms with certain gluten-free grains, oats, or other foods, but that reflects individual intolerance or sensitivity—not a proven “gluten-mimic” effect that damages the small intestine. Certified gluten-free oats are considered safe for most people with celiac disease, though a small subset may react to avenin. If specific foods consistently cause symptoms for you, it makes sense to avoid them personally, but it’s helpful for readers to know that these foods are still medically classified as gluten-free and generally safe for the broader celiac community.
