please help

6-8 weeks ago i really started to suffer with very painful cramps after i had eaten and finding my self having to rush to the bathroom, this continued. get more and more intense up untill around 2 weeks ago i went to the doctors.

He said i had IBS and was going to do some test as it could be celiacs, well i had the blood test and a stool sample and while i was waiting for the results to come through the pain in my stomach got worse and by this point my bowl movments were very very lose. Any way by the friday after being at the doctors on the monday the pain and the sickness i was feeling was so bad i was unable to eat or drink even water over the weekend.

The monday i went back to the doctors and they sent me to hospital, gave me a painkilling injection, told me to try a wheat/gluten free diet and sent me home with a prescription for buscopan (sp???).

well i took the tablets and followed the diet advice and the pain began to subside, in the mean time my results can back negative.

Over the last weekend i had run out of W/Gluten-Free froods so was eating 'normal' bread, ect and once again with in a few mouth fulls the cramping started.

So yesterday got more free from foods and called my doctor again, who have said the want to see me (but cant get in untill next tuesday, crazy- but thats another story!!)to make a plan and maybe see a dietition.

i dont knoe if its celiacs or not as i have heard blood test can come back negative even if yiooy do suffer with it all i know is it is very painfull and i can also end up feeling very sick, i already suffer with ME (CFS) which is a hassel in its self and i have just (well 6 months ago)come off anti-depressants and i really dont want to go back on them but it is really starting to get me down now.

does any one have any advice.

thank you

Sally

Hi Sally,

You have to consume gluten and show enough damage to get diagnosed through medical testing to get diagnosed.

Some doctors use their brain and decide they can diagnose you gluten intolerant from the fact ~ it makes you sick when you eat it.

It sounds like you have your answer ~ gluten makes you sick. You have to know yourself, do you need a doctor to diagnose you as Celiac to stay on a LIFELONG gluten free diet?

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
