  1. hmmmm is gallbladder ultrasound part of diagnosis cause when I went he said my gall bladder was collapsed (I had eaten and hadn't been told I wasn't allowed to) ps:- I am in agony at the moment and could really do with a diagnosis
  2. Thanks very much for your lengthy reply. I haven't had any back pain for about 6 months. But the pain on side and front is back with a vengence. I gave up dairy a long time ago. I have however substituted it with soya milk and yoghurt. But I don't have that much of either. a tiny bit in tea and I now have my coffee black. I only eat goats or sheeps cheese...
  3. Guys just wanted to update you cause I feel like I am sitting here losing my mind. I had another blood test recently for gliadin reaction etc. For this test (as I am sure you all know) I had to go back on gluten for 2 weeks. They were sposed to test for 5 different things but apparantly if the first is sooo low then they don't bother with the rest. So basically...
  4. magnesium? Is that a suppliment that is easy to get hold of?
  5. it doesn't seem to return. Its just when the first or first couple of mouthfuls go down. it doesn't seem to make a difference what the food is. But before I gave up normal bread that could be really bad but nowadays any hot food can do it
  6. sometimes the first mouthful of a meal burns my throat on the way down and it is an intense nasty feeling that lasts about 3-5 seconds. It can be doused by drinking liquid which quickly gets rid of it and then for the rest of the meal I am usually ok. Anyone else know what I am talking about?
  7. hmmm can anyone spot anything wrong with the following wheat/gluten wise. Had the following last night and the pain that I have recurring (better since trying to be gluten free) that starts near to my belly button came back today... chicken covered in yoghurt and coated in gluten free breadcrumbs, sweet potato covered in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar...
  8. I had that recurring flu-like symptoms on and off for ages and I am pretty sure that it is a food allergy. I feel like you;re coming down with something that never quite seems to materialise. Does this sound like you? lots of half day colds etc
  9. day three of my wheat and gluten free diet and my pain seems to subside immediately after eating and comes back when my stomach is more empty. Does that make any sense to anyone. I am typing this at 7pm uk time and have bad pain in my right side (inbetween hip and ribs) I ate around 6 hours ago. When I go to bed I am usually having a bit of pain that is gone...
  10. interestingly enough I have glucoma and some of the side effects of the drops can be kidney stones etc
  11. hmm I guess gallstones could still be a possibility as when I had my ultrasound they hadn't told me not to eat (I'd had a tiny bit of chocolate about 3 or 4 hours before. So my gallbladder was collapsed when I had my ultrasound and they couldn't check for stones. well he said I had no large stones.... hmmm lets hope this diet makes all the pain go away!
  12. i was kind of thinking more of over the counter type help or herbal remedies if anybody has any ideas
  13. thats so bizarre. Gp's probably follow the same route when faced with wheat/gluten intolerance cause I ended up with a urologist as well. It's a lot worse for you poor guys over the river as you don't have a public health care system. If its any consolation I rarely trust mine.
  14. I started gluten free diet yesterday. I just wondered if anyone who had abdominal pains can recommend anything to eat or drink that can help speed up the healing process for my digestive tract, intestines etc. Had pretty much constant pain at the mo since sunday night
  15. yes you sound in a similar boat to me. The one thing I can advise on is DON'T TRUST MOST GP'S. I've seen three and not one has even touched on the possibilities of it being gluten intolerance. One even said it wasn't in the right place to be digestion related
  16. Thank you for your kind reply Ursa. Sorry for some reason I thought I had mentioned I have recently had an ultrasound (as It was suggested I had kidney stones) The ultrasound turned up nothing and I have since been put forward for a c.t scan but I haven't a confirmed date yet. I don't remember anything too stressful. I think its the undiagnosed symptoms that...
  17. Thank you so much MSAU22 thats extremely helpful. Did you have the pain over a period of time. Were you since diagnosed with a gluten intolerance? Did you find the pain moving around (Mine can be on my side or like now in my groin and lower back (right hand side)
  18. perhaps I can explain because I am sensing a bit of hostility here. I wasn't 100% convinced by the company I used for the intolerance testing (they are called Yorktest and they are very expensive)(As well as wheat and gluten) carrots came up. I have raised IgG antibodies to gluten (gliadin) and wheat. I scored 2 out of a possible 5 on both (5 being the strongest...
  19. is bulmers gluten free?
  20. i've had heartburn indigestion for around 15 years. I remember it being better when I was the aitkins for a while. I can't drink OJ. Bread can create massive heartburn
  21. jeez that all sounds way too familar. I've been asked If i was a heavy drinker. I've had ultrasound that showed up nothing. I have the pains but all below my ribs rather than under them
  22. I hope you guys are still reading this.... Hopefully you can help. So far I have been suspected of having kidney stones and gall bladder problems. I have had an ultrasound that has showed up nothing and I am booked in to have a c.t scan.For two months I have had a recurring pain. I'll describe it in detail and then if any of you can confirm it sounds like...
  23. god.... This could be it.... A google search for my symptoms led me to this forum. So far I have been suspected of having kidney stones and gall bladder problems. I have had an ultrasound that has showed up nothing and I am booked in to have a c.t scan. Like you guys for two months I have had a recurring pain. I'll describe it in detail and then if any of...
