    I’ve been gluten free now for eight years. I have had two separate biopsies confirming celiac disease. I’ve had scopes since diagnosis that showed regrowth of microvilli. The diet has worked and I gained back all the weight that I lost before diagnosis. Lately, I’ve had some alarming symptoms. I’m having trouble making certain expressions with my face...

    I went through the same stuff at work. Fortunately, my husband has a great job, and I was able to come home. It's hard to deal with. I have a degree I'm not using. I feel non-productive at times, but my kids need their mother, and my body simply would not cooperate with me working. People do not understand. They do not understand no gluten, ever. I have Lupus...

    Hey guys! A year after being diagnosed with Celiac (3 years ago), I was diagnosed with lupus. Most of the time I can tell which one is bothering me by my symptoms (and I usually automatically know when I've been glutened). For the last 6 days I have been exhausted, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, facial rash, vomiting, body aches, and hot flashes. I have...

    Saw my GI doc yesterday, and he wants me to see a surgeon for fundoplication. I am doing very well with my diet. Scope was good. Markers down, but I still have horrible reflux! I sleep almost straight up, take 60 mg of prilosec and many tums throughout the day. I've tried prevacid, nexium, and carafate. They either did nothing or had really bad side effects...

    flowerqueen I've been wondering about that. I am not sure how to find out which drugs have gluten???

    Went to doc today. He put me on carafate and set up a GI consult. I have not seen a specialist since we moved here 2 years ago. He fussed at me about not going to see GI doc. He said I should be having an EGD every 6 mos to a year. He said esp since I have Barrett's esophagus. Waiting on scheduling. However, I took the carafate and was waiting an hour...

    I have been gluten-free for 2 years now. I'm careful, but have glutened myself a couple of times. The last time was just before Christmas, when I had to get IV fluids from dehydration. I was vomiting and having diarrhea so much in only 4 hrs that I needed 2 bags of fluids just to get my blood pressure back up to somewhat normal. First off, it seems that...

    Please help me! Been gluten free for 18 months since diagnosis. Wendy's website says their frosties are gluten free. Lots of stress going on. My daughter didn't eat hers. I looked it up (didnt think myself very sensitive). Yay, gluten free! Gobbled it up. Sick within the hour. My mom checked the ingredients: malt. That was Wednesday night. It's Sunday morning...

    All labs normal. What the heck? No anemia. B12 normal. Still waiting on porfyria. What is wrong with me?

    Oh and suicide crosses my mind a lot, but I shake it off and press on. I don't want to die at my own hands.
  13. jesimae
    Yes. I am very angry. I hate the inconvenience, the texture of most gluten free products, that I'm starving, the effect this illness has on my family, the tendency to blame every symptom on celiac, the questions people ask, the nightmares I have about eating pizza on purpose because I'm sick of the diet, and most of all, the lack of support of my husband...

    No oats. No brm. Had a come to Jesus meeting with my husband. I think he will be more understanding and supportive now. The past 2 days my blood pressure's been low, and I'm urinating all the time. I stopped taking the steroids. I had those symptoms before when the doc thought I had Addison's. Hmm... Just waiting on test results...
  15. jesimae
    Steroids help with the joint pain and the rash. I have gotten this rash periodically since I had mono in high school. Doc just started treating with steroids last year.

    Hillside is supposed to be biopsies. Stupid smart phone! Lol
  17. jesimae
    Interesting u should bring this up. One doc I was seeing when I first got sick, swore I had Addison's. I had low blood pressure, low aldosterone, craving salt, low sodium and potassium, fainting spells, low adh, dry skin, brittle hair, other things. However when my tests and hillside from the GI doc came back showing celiac and barretts esophagus, all those...
