Iceland Girl, I discussed with urologist my celiac diet, and items mentioned on this thread, spinach, chocolate, and nuts, with nuts being the item of the three eat the most of, and he was not overly concerned, suggested that I drink more water (which I am needing to do anyway). I am glad there is no more treatment needed as I just found out cataract surgery...

Hi Iceland Girl, I am so sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I wanted all the info before I gave an update. I saw the urologist on the 12th and we looked at the ultrasound together and he stated that it looked like I had several stones in my right kidney. He had me get xrays to better determine. The xrays came back and "there were on obvious...

Iceland Girl, honestly, I do not have much anxiety over it. At 63, it is ridiculous some of the physical issues I am dealing with, none absolutely terrible, but nuisances. I think I'm fortunate to have insurance and doctors I trust (mostly). I have a meditation practice that helps me to keep calm and grateful. i will definitely let you know how my...

Iceland Girl, well, I guess it is good to know something definitive. When I got my blood work done a couple of weeks ago, the guy drawing my blood said he had kidney stones and his urologist performed the shock wave therapy to break up his stones. I did not ask him any questions but he was obviously pleased with the results and offered me the name of his...

Sorry you lost your stone IG and I hope that the urologist is helpful. In reply to your previous question, my primary left me a message after the ultrasound that I had stones. I have no idea whether the stone I retrieved is the same one that caused me the pain a few weeks earlier, I don't know their exit strategy! I hopefully will get to see the ultrasounds...

Hi Iceland girl, very timely discussion for me. I was diagnosed celiac nearly 5 years ago and have been on a strict gluten-free diet since. I have always cooked a lot, so the diet change was not so bad. About 4 weeks ago, I was at work on a conference call had had a huge pain on my right side, nausea, sweats, ended up at urgent care and with trace blood...

This is my first post. I was diagnosed June 16. 2011 with Celiac. Had a follow-up appointment today with the gastroenterologist who say me chewing gum. He said I should not chew gum, it had gluten, and then he said, or lick envelopes. Well, how am I to know these things. I went on a gluten free diet June 17 to the best of my ability. I have checked...
