I had to go to the hospital recently, and was told that, 1) I have the stomach flu- which is so far beyond what is actually going on. 2) When they discharge me, they give me hydrocodone. From what I have researched and heard; tylenol is the worst type of pain reliever a celiac can take.
"To investigate further the conflicting results in reports of drug absorption in patients with small intestinal mucosal disease, gastric emptying and the disposition of acetaminophen were assessed simultaneously in 41 subjects (13 controls, 12 patients with Crohn's disease, and 16 with celiac disease). Acetaminophen absorption as judged by plasma concentrations and gastric emptying were slower in patients with celiac disease and Crohn's disease. Total drug absorption as indicated by urinary recovery did not differ, but plasma acetaminophen half-life was shorter and glucuronide conjugation was enhanced in the patients with Crohn's disease. Contrary to expectation, the mean rate constant for acetaminophen absorption from the small intestine was not decreased in Crohn's disease and celiac disease. The abnormally slow acetaminophen absorption in the patients with Crohn's or celiac disease could be explained by slower gastric emptying of the drug solution."
I had ONE person say something about my disease which was, "So you have Celiac Disease?" That was it.
It hurt me most to know that I was more intelligent then the doctors at the hospital. It makes me worry that someone is going to poison me because they NEVER study anything about Celiac. I swear, they must just have a paragraph of information about celiac in their books. It took them 4 years to figure out that I have Celiac Disease.
I'm tired of being the victim. Why if I have to educate my doctors am I not receiving a paycheck?
I'm so furious with the health care system and doctors education on the subject. I'm sick; but that makes me ill. Just ILL.
EXPECT EVERY DOCTOR YOU ENCOUNTER TO BE MENTALLY HANDICAPPED. Chances are they wont even know what you're talking about.
