Update and Questions: By brother is still in the hospital and luckily he has felt better the last few days. But throughout the last 30 days he's been up and down several times so it's not too comforting. We switched hospitals and doctors in the last 5 days. The previous gastro doctor was so sure it was celiac right when he looked down his throat with the...

Update: Basically what's going on is if he's not on the pain medication(dilaudid specifically, morphine or any othersdon't work) he can't eat without getting sick. If he's on the pain medication he can eat. But the pain medication is causing problems like constipation. Really crappy situation. Im now wondering if he might have stomach ulcers causing a...

Yeah Were basically all gluten free now. We definitely don't bring any gluten into the house anymore, I haven't ate gluten in over a week, and also my dad cut it out completely 4 days ago. They didn't send him home with any pain medication. He was having such bad chills from the dilaudid withdrawals that he was convulsing and freezing cold in a...

Update: Now he is at home suffering. He is claiming that his pain now is like day 1 when this all started. When he was in the hospital they had him on a ton of dilaudid. The nurse even said that he was on the maximum that is allowed at the hospital. He is going through extreme pain and earlier was having chills. I am wondering if maybe dilaudid withdrawals...

Update: The Medical system has failed us again. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they are atleast incompetent. He was doing better until last night he got some stomach cramps, but not as bad as it was before. I don't know if it's not as bad because he just ate less or it's because his stomach is doing better. His doctor is double speaking to the point...

Well the doctor said he would do this but we haven't heard from him. Also like I said in my last post if they say he can't have any salt or spice on his food but he can have loads of fillers in the meds and sodium in the stool softeners.

Good idea. I have already looked up some of his meds. My findings were kinda confusing. I found some stories(including some off this site) of celiacs negatively affected by certain meds that claim to be gluten free. Also I would see one site list a drug as gluten free, then another have it on their 'suspect list' and there from the same mfg. One of the meds...

Update: Another dissapointing update. He is still in the hospital and was supposed to be released yesterday or today. He had a problem with the IV and developed DVT.A deep vein blood clot. Then this morning at 4am he was having real bad stomach pains and threw up a few times. The last two days he started eating, and eating a decent amount. He was eating...

Now a New doctor thinks he might have a blockage of some sort causing him all this pain. The pain has gotten worse each time he has one of these 'episodes' and it's always after eating food. So he might have Celiac plus a blockage. How likely is it that he can just eat loafs of bread one day then 2 weeks later get severe stomach pains and nausea from cross...

Isn't this true of all foods? Also I wanted to add that his blood test came up negative for celiac while his biopsy came back positive. Are blood tests not so accurate? If his biopsy came back positive does this guarantee he has celiac? EDIT: Another thing. If it's possible to get gluten contamination from a barbecue that has had a piece of bread on...

Hey guys. Thanks for the responses. I have an update, a not so good one. Yesterday my brother got out of the hospital and again was feeling better. When he was in the hospital they were giving him some soup and the drink ensure.Also milk then they gave him some chicken breast. He seemed to take it down pretty good. When he got out of the hospital He had a...

Wow last night I just realized why his rash was sooooo bad then. He got a cat scan in the ER, so they loaded high amounts of iodine in his blood. Wow, crazy. This explains why 24 hrs after that he had such bad rashes that they looked like open bloody sores Well I realize that a long term diet of just fruits and veggies isn't very good for anyone...

Thanks for the responses. I would like to add a few things about his siuation. -He has been taking Dr. mercolas melatonin supplement to be able to fall asleep. The website says this product is 'gluten free' -The chicked was from a local natural food co-op.It's a Smart Chicken. Ingredients are smart chicken,lemon juice, garlic, Thyme, Sea salt, Pepper...

Hi, starting on Saturday the 24th By brother started feeling some stomach pains in his upper belly, then followed by nausea. Af first we thought food posioning or a a flu bug or something like that. about 4 days later we took him to the ER because he wasn't keeping any fluids or food down at all, just throwing it all up. Also his belly pain he described as...
