ARCHIVED Testing My Son?
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks everyone! I really think something is going on with him and I do want to get him tested. Sometimes as a parent you dont want to be too overbearing or be a worry wart that something is wrong when it may not be, but even today when I picked him up from school his teacher told me he had severe diarrhea after lunch (which was macaroni and cheese). I'm... -
ARCHIVED In Desperate Need Of Some Positivity :/
applegirl03 replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had the same issues that your having, and it turns out I do have celiac, but I also have other food allergies. I had a blood work up done that showed I saw allergic to sunflower oil, cayne pepper, and anchoives really really severely. I'm also allergic or "intolerant" to like 40 other things, but those were the big 3 besides gluten. It took awhile before... -
ARCHIVED Testing My Son?
applegirl03 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm wondering if there are any other parents out there with this problem. I have Celiac, and in the last month or so I have noticed my son is complaining of stomach pain and diarrhea, bad gas, and general discomfort. I notice it gets worse after eating things like bread, pancakes, pizza...things with wheat in them. I mentioned this to his Pediatrician and... -
ARCHIVED On Celiac Diet For A Year, Now I Have Joint Pain
applegirl03 replied to imracin68j's topic in Doctors
I was having a lot of the symptoms your describing...mine ended up being a massive yeast infection in my digestive tract (Candida) after a month of diflucan I felt much better and my joint pain was gone. I know you are seeing a Rhuemotologist, but doing an all natural yeast cleansing couldn't hurt at this point. You can pick them up at your local natural... -
YOu need to be careful with yeast infections. A accidental "glutenning" can cause Candida, which may actually be contributing to your Fibromyalgia symptoms. When I accidently eat gluten I feel sick, but it can get worse and worse after a few days. I stopp gluten over a year ago and still wasnt feeling well at all. I was dizzy, short of breath, dsevere stomach...

So I was just wondering about something. I am currently being treated for a severe yeast infection of my gut. I am on 100mg of Diflucan once daily, and I'm about 2/3 of the way done with it. My anxiety was pretty high before I started the diflucan. I have experianced some pretty bad die-off and my anxiety levels that were better seem to have come back.n Definitely...

ARCHIVED False Positive?
applegirl03 replied to skippermay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The exact same thing happened to me and it delayed my diagnosis by months. Celiac does not discriminate against height, weight, age, sex, race, or lifestyle. That doctor is an idiot and even if you do the endoscopy and it comes back positive he wont know how to help you since he obviously knows nothing about celiac disease. Go to the Doctor section of the... -
ARCHIVED Scared Out Of My Mind
applegirl03 replied to Newtoitall's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
First off I am so sorry this is happening to you. I have been there and back, so I know how hard it is. Before the celiac diagnosis I was having severe anxiety, they put me on lexapro and let me tell you the worst 4 days of my life. I got this symptom most people refer to as "brain zaps" where you feel like you are seriously being struck by lighting in the... -
No problem...Kelly Oni is sort of an all inclusive...she helped me with my OBGYN stuff (I have severe endomotriosis) as well as testing for Hashimooto's(results were NEG) and she gave me lists of food I could eat and what supplements would help. My test results didnt say anything about high eosinophilis numbers, but I would have to double check. I was just...

ARCHIVED Severe Fungal Infection
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks everyone for the suggestions I really appreciate it! My doc said it was just a severe fungal infection and I'm about 11 days into a 1 month treatment of Diflucan...I also did the MetaMetrix stool profile test and thats how I found out what had been making me sick for over 6 months...the "die off" seems to be a little bit better. I had a 3 day migraine... -
Okay, after about 6 months of unidentified symptoms and countless trips to the Doctor, I have finally got an answer... I have been gluten free for 7 months now, diagnosed with celiac for a year...After a bunch of tests/er visits/ CT Scans/ pain/etc....my one DOc actually did a stool test which showed I have a massive fungal infection in my digestive...

ARCHIVED Celiac And Anxiety
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Well after several visits to several totally clueless doctors, I think i may have an answer. It turns out I have a massive Fungal infection in my gut and my doc told me that that kind of severe yeast infection in the body can cause severe anxiety, due to the endotoxins being released as the fungi die...apparently its called the "die off effect". Now my doc... -
Thank you so much for this information. I myself am 25 years old and I am in desperate need of a decent doc. My HUsband just got a new job, so our insurance is pretty good right now and I would like to get this all taken care of. I do see one doctor who is just wonderful. Her name is Kelli Onie. She actually tested and found my celieac disease after 2 years...

Dont give up! That is exactly what happened to me after the birth of my Daughter in July 2008. I was not recovering well, feeling sick and dizzy all the time. I couldnt concentrate and my health declined quickly. They told me IBS, Fibromylagia, Post partum depression, but my body just got worse the more I took the drugs they were prescribing me. Finally I...

I was just wondering if anyone knew a good Doctor or treatment facility. I have had continual stomach problems and no one is managing my celiac disease. My stomach doctor asked me how to spell celiac the other day, and then when I told him I was worried about how damaged my Villi are and he said he was not familiar with the terms I was using. Ummm...what...

ARCHIVED Celiac And Anxiety
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am very strict with the gluten. I do notice that it is worse after I accidently gluten myself. Put I think I am just nervous because of how fast it hits me and getting sick in public. I had to go in to the hospital today for severe stomach pain. My doc did an emergency cat scan and blood work. Everything was normal, or "okay"...what the heck "okay" means... -
ARCHIVED So Tired All The Time
applegirl03 replied to AJoy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am 25 years old, so I totally know how you feel as far as being tired and frustrated. I would suggest an (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) test, which test for over 500+ different food sensitivities. I was diagnosed first with celiac, then when I wasn't getting any better after months and months they did the (Company Name Removed... -
ARCHIVED Caffine Withdrawal Symptoms
applegirl03 replied to txplowgirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
You poor thing! Trust me I have been where you are and it totally stinks. I came off caffeine when I found out I had a sensitivity to high fructose corn syrup. It was really hard to do and your body is physically addicted to the caffeine and the sugar, so its a rough road. The good news is that you should start to feel better soon. I would also add that you... -
I find myself in the past month or so struggling with anxiety and mood swings. I have been very careful to stay gluten-free and to the best of my knowledge I have been doing so for several months. I am anxious to go anywhere alone with my 2 small children(they are 5 and 2) because I am afraid I am going to get sick in the middle of a store(trust me its happened...

ARCHIVED Celiac And Hormone Problems?
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Well I thought I had been gluten free for about 6 months, but then I recently started getting sick when I was eating Trix cereal, and come to find out they changed the formula and it now includes wheat starch. So in actuality I have probably been strictly gluten free about a month now, but I know these things take time, but I am so tired of feeling sick during... -
ARCHIVED Low Blood Protein; Low Igg
applegirl03 replied to Laura9's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have struggled on and off with the same issues with protein. I think it may just be something that happens. I recently had this test done that you might want to consider. It is called the Metametrix GI Effects Stool profile. The full comprehensive test is like 395$ and normally insurance wont cover it but it is well worth the money. They go all the way... -
I was wondering if any woman out there are having the same problems as me. During ovulation (about 2 weeks into my cycle) I get sever upset stomach, pains, cramps, anxious, just generally icky. I also have horrible PMS and menstrual cycle 2 weeks after that. I know what it is, but even being G.F. does not help my symptoms any...is anyone else suffering from...

ARCHIVED Still Having Stomach Symptoms-Help!
applegirl03 replied to applegirl03's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Ya I did notice that it gets worse with milk. After eating chex cereal with milk. Last night I drank milk with dinner. I think that might have done me in. I have endomertiosis as well, so I know hormones could have a lot to do with it. I am trying to be careful about CC, and not getting glutened. I'm still somewhat new to this, and still getting the hang... -

applegirl03 posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
