Back After Being Gone A While

Hidy everbody,

Well, i'm back, i've been gone awhile, a liitle over a year and I came back because i'

m having some issues and i'm alittle ashamed because I knew better.

Oh man, lets see if I can get all yall up to speed.

Was a truck driver battling Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue and supersensitive gluten issues. Well, it got down to where a little over a year ago I had to come off the truck due to back problems as well as the Fibro and found out that I have not 1, not 2, not 3 but 6 bulging discs in my neck and back. Can anyone say OWWW? Lol

3 in my neck with a bone spur and 3 in my lower back. Been seeing a Chiropractor, also I have an appointment in a couple of weeks with a nuerologist. See what he has to say and discuss whether or not if I should try for disability and blah, blah blah, on that.

Made the mistake of having the Celiac test due to family bugging me and of course it was negative which I totally expected but shouldn't have done because you can guess what happened next.

Yep, went back on the gluten and here I am right back where I was where I started. Have gained back 25 lbs of the 50 I lost, back on blood pressure meds, back on anti depressants, anemic again and feeling like crap on top of everything else.

So, gearing up to do this again and I plan on being gluten free from now on no matter what anybody says. So, I came back for the great moral support.

To help with this I ordered the Nutribullet to help get me started, (was wondering if anyone here has tried it?) Now, just gonna wait until it comes in, doing research and pysching myself up to do this.

Oh, and I got married to the ole Goat about 3 months ago. (Ducking behind the couch). I'm a glutton for punishment ain't I? :P

So, how's everyone doing? :D

Sorry you are having such a bad time. Can I just ask, when you had a test for Coeliacs disease, was it a blood test or a biopsy? (As the blood tests are not reliable) presumably you were eating gluten in your diet prior to the test also?

There is nothing like desperation to help keep one in line. Sorry about the pressure that was on you. I am experiecing some of that, but it is starting to change. I feel better enough for others to notice since I have been gluten free 6 months and grain free 4.

You have some rather observeable problems. I can't wait to hear about them resolving.

Hey Girl! yeehaw!

I wondered where you went off to. I missed you!

Congrats to you and the old goat. :)

Glad to see you back on the gluten-free wagon and back on the forum.

...and you know what you need to do--it's just like riding a bike (or in your case, driving a big truck)

Cheers, IH

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. I appreciate it.

Yes, I ate for gluten a good 2 months before the bloodtests. 2 cheeseburgers a day for 2 months plus Macaronie and cheese. The more gluteny the better and it didn't work. Just felt like crap and visiting the bathroom a lot.

And no, it wasn't a gluten free cake, but knowing how I would react I restricted the gluten stuff a couple days before and for the big day so wouldn't have a problem.

Anyway, back here to do the research again and get back on the bandwagon so to speak. It'll be easier to do this time I hope because I know to expect the withdrawals and cravings and everything that goes with it.

I've been spending a lot of my time the last year on a preparedness site. Getting prepared to try to live through an economical colapse, or even maybe the grid going down. Very interesting people.

Anyway good to be back and looking forward to a better life. So tired of feeling like crap. Hopefully, once i get my inner self working again my back and Fibro will settle down some also.

My neighbor's doc tests his fibro patients for Celiac. But even if they test negative, he has them eat gluten free/lite (take the burger off the bun style gluten-free). He says it really helps the fibro.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
