Well just as suspected I have just come from my doctors office, and now them armed with a confirmed celiac diagnosis, have chosen to ignore my urine sample that states significant crystals and significant bacteria. I am in so much pain (side and back) and I was put on pred and pain killers for a week....basically its all the fault of celiac, stay on the diet and get out!

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr................

geesh.....is there an ED you can go to? the crystal part=drink, drink, drink! But if there are truly significant bacteria, why didn't they consider an antibiotic?

She didn't even mention that....because again I gave them a sample today and it was clear. I said the sediment won't come out till tonight or tomorrow morning. I wonder if I go in with a sore throat, or I can't see if they'll tell me its the celiac too!?!? :angry::( I should have bypassed the doc and gone to emerg, but then again they'd tell me Im fibbing again like they did last time before the official diagnosis....They did a CT two and half months ago, she said stones would have shown up on that...well this pain only started two weeks ago, and she snarked at me and said that stones dont grow in two weeks!!!! Again I felt about an inch tall and just ran out of there bawling like a baby....I think I must have left some peel marks pulling out of the parking lot I was so angry....guess my anger management problem that I just had today is a result of celiac too..... :unsure:

:angry: Snarky health professionals are very professional.

And did the House show give them the go-ahead to treat patients as a buncha liars?

(Not that I don't like the show overall ;) )

Infuriating.

the stones (if you have any) could have been growing for at least the 2.5 months since the CT scan. Don't know the average time from start to pain. Is your unrine more concentrated when the sediment occurs? Is it granular, or soft, or mucus? Clean out your diet as much as possible. good luck

I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time with your Dr. May be time to try a new one?

House is really good at diagnosing..but have you noticed he usually wants to look inside people's brains..no matter what the symptoms? :o You wouldn't want that! ;) LOL

yeah doctors are clueless sometimes. I went to an endocrinologist in 2006 cause I knew something was wrong and I thought it was low testosterone. He basically ran some blood work and told me I was depressed. If he had checked my vitamin D back then my celiac might have been discovered perhaps 4 years earlier than it was. instead I wound up being given lexapro and xanax and what a night mare that was....

I have had IC symptoms lately as well. have you checked out the IC network for more info?

Hi all...glad to know I don't feel like a headcase here! My friend keeps telling me to go to emerg, but last time I did that, they kicked me out after trying to kill me by running a bag of morphine over 5 minutes! Oh and called me a liar about me saying there was blood in my BM.

As for changing docs, can't do it here. The system mandates that if you have a doc yer stuck with them unless you move to another province and can't get to your old one, or your old one leaves. Sucks but true.

Today I am suffering from massive back pain, not sure if its related to the kidney thing. I had the white sediment again last night, and it looks like small white bits, almost like running CLR through a coffee machine, just the flakes arn't as big. It looks like white powder and thats what they said is "significant crystals being dumped". I know from other people that stones can develop quick, even over a span of two months. All I asked for was a renal ultrasound, but no one will do it. Because I had the CT 2.5-3 months ago. I also at the same time had an internal ultrasound but they were checking my ovaries, not even sure if they can see my kidneys on that because it dosn't require the fluid intake as does a renal ultrasound.

By IC you mean collitis? Not even sure what the symptoms are, and would they not see that on a colonoscopy which I already had???

The doc asked me yesterday how my diarhea was....I said, WHAT diarhea???? I never ever had that problem or even said anything about it...so she was making stuff up!!!!!!!!! I was never bloated and never had a problem with BM's other then the blood.

I am at a loss....Ill just suffer with the pain rather then feel like an idiot, or a headcase.

I am wondering if the IC she is referring to would be interstitial cystitis?

IC means Interstitial Cystitis, its a condition where the mucous lining of the bladder breaks down and causes burning, frequency and urgency of urination.

it sounds like if sediment is being released then it is something different than IC. They say that taking magnesium supplements or having a multi vitamin with magnesium will help with the calcification in the kidneys, bladder etc. has anyone else heard of this?

I go on IC-Network as many people with Celiac also have IC.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
