    Thanks across...did yours come on all of a sudden and then just not go away. Mine started out bad that's why I thought uti. 6 days later it's better by half but still. Do you mind me asking what dietary changes you made that help?

    Hey Beth...it is miserable. It's making me crazy really. Are your medications antihistamines? Do you think it's an allergy thing? The reason I'm asking is that I've been researching cause its really bugging me and read about pelvic stuff as a symptom of food allergies. I'm on allegra already and am doing allergy shots for severe environmental allergies...

    I'm not sure that this is a related disorder so I may be posting in the wrong place. I'm hoping someone can help with this. A week ago I was sure I was getting a uti. Pelvic pain and pressure...having to pee constantly. On Thursday I went to see the doctor who did a culture and started me on antibiotics. On Monday she called to say that there was...

    Thanks for sharing your experience with me. It helped me to feel less alone. If you ever need someone to listen...I will be here.

    I hear your frustration and get it. IRL I don't have anyone that gets it either. I have people who love me and try...But it's not the same. I've been struggling with thoughts of why do bad things happen to good people...did I do something wrong to make this happen etc. Driving myself crazy. Bottom line is you have to get it out...so let it all out...

    Gosh...I don't think so. Had my period 2 weeks ago. Also...my hubby had a vasectomy after my little one was born.
  7. icelandgirl
    Thanks Beth. That sounds annoying. I've been feeling like this since last Wednesday. How long do yours usually last? The nurse I talked to mentioned ultrasound to look for ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. I had uterine polyps removed in February along with my gallbladder. This isn't fun ya know? When do we get to feel good? Speaking of...how...

    Thanks Nicole...really needed that. Feeling scared.

    Got a call from my Dr's office. The cultures came back negative. I don't have a uti. WTH. I'm still peeing all the time and have all of this pelvic pressure. I go in on Wednesday for a pelvic exam and ultrasound. I'm so tired of all of this. It really feels like there is always something wrong. Just want to cry.

    Nicole...I'm one of the newer members of this board but had to respond. I started crying reading your post. Last week I asked my husband if I should just start accepting that I may never feel good. It's not want I want but I'm discouraged. I have children...youngest will be 3 next month...and I feel like I can't be the mom they need. But reading your...

    Oh interesting. Thanks for that. I've taken 3 of the pills so far...11 to go. I really don't feel any better. Anyone with experience in this know how long it usually takes? This is the pits.
  12. icelandgirl
    Thanks smri...I really hope this one does the trick. It's making me really nauseous though. My kids start school 2 weeks from today and it's another day of mom feeling bad. Thanks for the yogurt tip...I will try that!
  13. icelandgirl
    Wow, that's rough. When I started getting really sick last year my mom decided to move back here full time...I'm so thankful. There have been many days where she's taken the kids while I was feeling bad. but I feel guilty. I told my husband tonight...I can't be the mom I want to be and it's so hard. I feel like I can't really give good advice on stuff...
  14. icelandgirl
    Oh Beth...I really feel for you...I do. I'm so sorry. (((Hugs))) When I've been glutened it has taken me a full week to feel better...I do know that everyone is different though and that you are still in the early stages of healing. It is so hard and frustrating to be searching for answers all the time isn't it? I know it is for me. My kids go back...

    I have the ones for pain and they do seem to be helping. Will be taking my second antibiotic with dinner. Already feel nauseous.
  16. icelandgirl
    I didn't realize that. I got the one for pain. I'm going to have to check into the other one. Thanks!
  17. icelandgirl
    I got some yesterday when I was thinking maybe I could muscle through it somehow. Flush it out with water...didn't work...just got no sleep last night.
  18. icelandgirl
    Awww...thanks kareng. I would like to not have this happen ever again! Have you had this issue? Anything I can do besides probiotics to help myself?
  19. icelandgirl
    Thanks Beth. I take a probiotic twice a day. I agree about them being kaput. I really don't want to be on an antibiotic again. I'm 42 and with the constant issues I'm starting to feel 82. Sigh...

    I am feeling so frustrated that I just want to cry. It really feels like it's always something and all I want is to feel good and be healthy so I can take care of my kids. I've been gluten free since diagnosis on January 23rd. I am only eating whole foods that I prepare and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this thing. 3 weeks ago I...
  21. icelandgirl
    I'm sorry that you've been through so much...it's shocking to see how many celiacs have had to deal with so much pain and frustration for so long before diagnosis. I love your positive attitude though...that will really help you and it's so nice to see it especially when I'm feeling down.
  22. icelandgirl
    I'm sorry...that is so hard. I am also a stay at home mom and it's been tough. The days when I was running to the bathroom 10-20 times a day were so hard. I felt so bad for my kids too. I hope you find some answers soon. ((((Hugs))))
  23. icelandgirl
    What a great topic! Although I already knew he was great, the hard times and diagnosis proved yet again how lucky I am to be married to my husband. He supported me through everything, always encouraged me and immediately decided to go gluten free with me. I'm thankful to be eating healthier than ever. I'm thankful for the support I've found on this...

    Thank you so much for posting this! I'm really struggling this morning after having D for the past 3 days and not sure why. Like the previous poster said it sure feels like 1 step forward 2 steps back a lot. But this type of encouragement really brightened up my day...Thank you!
  25. icelandgirl
    Hi Ami, I've had this issue too and it is really frustrating. Someone on here suggested a food diary. By doing that and writing down everything I ate plus whenever I had D...gross I know...I was able to figure out some stuff that bothers me whenever I eat it. I was desperate when I started it because it felt like I was always getting D. So I started...
