ARCHIVED A Little Ventilation
scottyg354 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm ready to snap. I had my colonoscopy which I'm glad I did and had one benign polyp. I have been on Lexapro now since December due to Anxiety which isn't totally gone. My brain fog is horrible now, I can't concentrate at work which is driving me nuts, thank god I work for family and no one believes me that I feel bad. Everyone chalks it up to me being overweight... -
So had my colonoscopy last week. Everything was good. 1 Polyp and a hemi. So how can I possibly explain my colon spasms. I can feel them starting right under my left rib cage. They move from the to right below my sternum, and the into my lower back. Does this happen to anyone else? It's extremely annoying. I'm not even sure its my colon because when it happens...

ARCHIVED A Little Comic Relief

Dunno. They called it peptic soda. It was a clear liquid that tasted like Sprite. But man it cleared me out. -
ARCHIVED Thryoid Question
scottyg354 replied to nuttmegs17's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ugghhh. Thyroid issues. I'm hypo. It's a freakin Disaster. My TSH was at 8.5 when they found it. I was sleeping like 15 hours a day. Basically, wake up, work and sleep. I would work out, I would lose weight and gain it back almost instantly. I also had bad anxiety and fatigue, as well as brain fog. Aches and pains and stomach issues. I started taking... -
ARCHIVED A Little Comic Relief

I am going to the Gastro on Wednesday for a Colonoscopy, hopefully the beggining of some answers. I am going to push for the Celiac blood test as well as testing for other intolerance too. My question is this. When the hell did they change the colon clean from 6 oz to a whole freaking gallon?!?! This should definetely make my Tuesday night exciting. LOL. -
I don't know if any of you own this, but they have some pretty good recipes for Buckwheat and Quinoa.

ARCHIVED Inhaling Gluten
scottyg354 replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm back on the gluten train until I get all my testing. Went this long suffering so I can cope. Found out yesterday that I also can't have soy milk. So I guess almond milk is my only option. -
ARCHIVED Inhaling Gluten
scottyg354 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So, as some of you know I am still eating gluten as my testing begins in about a week. My question is, yesterday I broke a bag of flour on my kitchen floor and had to sweep it up. I didn't come in contact with any of the flour when it was on the floor, but when I emptied my vacuum in my trash outside, a bunch of the flour dust and some other dust blew in... -
Anyone else get this? I also found out yesterday, that along with regular milk, soy milk is not a friend. This is really getting annoying.

ARCHIVED Severe Depression/ Thyroid Issues Linked To Celiac Disease?
scottyg354 replied to keithceliac2010's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Over Diagnosed? By my understand it is one of the most under-diagnoses, along with hypothyroid. -
ARCHIVED Severe Depression/ Thyroid Issues Linked To Celiac Disease?
scottyg354 replied to keithceliac2010's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I did my research LExapro works for both anxiety and depression. Its working good now. He did warn me there would be some side effects while adjusting, they were brutal, but for the most part they cleared up in a few weeks. -
ARCHIVED Severe Depression/ Thyroid Issues Linked To Celiac Disease?
scottyg354 replied to keithceliac2010's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Anti Depressants are a nightmare. I am currently on 10mg of Lexapro which is the minimal dose. It pretty much ruined my life for six weeks. Made my anxiety 100 times worse, they seem to be mellowing me out now a little, but my anger issues seems to be coming back. Anxiety seems to be somewhat better though. I am hypothyroid, not sure if I am Celiac or... -
ARCHIVED Red Things (Update)
scottyg354 replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No I originally thought the red thing I was passing were blood. I just disolved one in water yesterday because I noticed them in the vitamin, i just wanted to see if that is what they were and sure enough it was. -
ARCHIVED Red Things (Update)
scottyg354 replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have no freaking idea. The honestly look like like red chunks of tomato about the size of a grain of pepper. They smear blood red and all, but these are def. the things I am passing. -
ARCHIVED Red Things (Update)
scottyg354 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
A while back I posted that I was passing red things in my BM's that looked like tiny blood clots. Anyways, yesterday as I was taking my multi vitamin I noticed litte red spots in them. So I figured I figured I would do an experiment. I broke one in half and let it disolve for a while. Sure as hell when I checked there were thousands of these little red things... -
ARCHIVED Pains?
scottyg354 replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't get them constant, but I do get them daily. -
So do any of you guys get pains the aren't exactly colicky or cramp, more like dull aches in your abdomen that almost remind you of stiff muscles, but you know they are coming from the inside. I get these a lot. They tend to get very annoying.

I hope so to. I originally thought I had bowel cancer, but at 26 although it happens, that is pretty rare. I think that was just more me jumping the gun and going worst case scenario. This site was like a blessing in disguise. I'm just sick of people telling me it's all in my head. -
Since I was a child my weight has always fluctuated. I would be thin and then heavy, this never really seemed to stop, until I just started being plain heavy. I'll get to that later. I remember as a kid always having skin boils and mouth sores (the mouth sores have stopped), having step throat and sinusitis at least 3 times a year, my gums being irritated...
