Two examples about the stupidity of the doctors
HayInNeedleStack commented on HayInNeedleStack's blog entry in The Search of Hay
I've done that mistake too, but for other reasons. First because I've noticed that some specialists really aren't interested in symptoms that don't fall into the category of diseases they are used to dealing with (hence "specialists"). Second because I hadn't noticed the symptoms or thought they weren't important. All wrong. It's like in doctor House -... -
Good idea! Add also the lactulose - mannitol test, to confirm they are/are not experiencing leakyness in the gut, then correlate the results with the symptoms (obviously digestive symptoms would have to be excluded, because diarrhea and bloating will probably be present anyway, due to having damaged intestines). You see, ironically it would be "gluten...

Leaky gut is a condition that we have little knowledge of. The symptoms this condition could cause are not agreed upon. Some health practitioners say it could cause "wide range of long term conditions Open Original Shared Link, like chronic fatigue syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis. The possible cause list NHS gives is much more accurate: Open...

Two examples about the stupidity of the doctors
HayInNeedleStack posted a blog entry in The Search of Hay
Both examples were originally posted on another forum, where I discuss a topic of my initiated. 1. Are doctors able to perform a proper differential diagnosis? An example about the incompetence of human brain would be medicine. Did you know that the average time that goes for diagnosing Sjogren's Syndrome (an autoimmune disease most often... -
Play some telltale games and learn to manipulate people into the way you want them to be, that would be in your case them understanding that big sh*t begins with tiny piece of cr*p. If no succeed, they are not worth further efforts.

The last blog entry was about my GI not having a clue what's wrong with me. I was angry, and even more angrier when another senior GI said the exact same thing, although he did say it could be IBS. I loudly thought "f*ck you", because I gave him my whole list of symptoms, and expressed my solemn concern that this list contains A LOT more symptoms than just...

Gi Visited - Still Undiagnosed
HayInNeedleStack commented on HayInNeedleStack's blog entry in The Search of Hay
Yes, they did biopsy of stomach and duodenum. The only inflamed part was the pyloric antrum of the stomach (plasma cell hyperplasia or sth) and there were some visible erosions in the esophagus. No inflammation of duodenum, its biopsy OK. celiac blood test negative, while still on gluten (5 years ago) now after five years of extra strict gluten free diet... -
Gi Visited - Still Undiagnosed
HayInNeedleStack commented on HayInNeedleStack's blog entry in The Search of Hay
What's ironical is that 7 years ago I 'asked' for a 'challenge that would test my limits'. Back then I was a 14y old unpopular computer-freak, and in the summer I decided to change myself radically. I was in deep awe of everything that was more-than-human, especially the Marathon Monks of Japan (they run marathon for 1000 days within 7 years; if they stop... -
Depends on the person I think. My symptoms are disturbing, and thus I don't hesitate to do any test to get more info about the underlying condition. Also, it wasn't painful, just uncomfortable (that 1 second where you have to swallow the tube), taking biopsy wasn't painful either.

Hi again, dear world. This is my second blog post. In the meanwhile I have had a really busy time testing new theories about my undiagnosed disease. Here is what has happened: In the end of November I visited my GP, and got a referral to visit a gastroentrologist in February. At that time I was so sure that I had Hashimoto thyroiditis, and two months...

EDIT: Is there a "wrap text" option for the text to eliminate the now-present horizontal scroll of this entry? Today I was thinking about my back pain during when waking up in the mornings and decided to do some research in the internet. I bumped into diseases like scoliosis, lordosis and kyphosis. I decided to take a look in the mirror and saw that I...

ARCHIVED Non Oral Antibiotics Causing Digestive Problems?
HayInNeedleStack posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I got swimmer's ear in summer 2008 and took Cipro HC ear drops. The infection healed, but serious digestive and ear problems followed right after the treatment: 1. Leaky gut 2008-2010 my digestive health was on constant decline, until starting food elimination diets in 2010. Although the following 4 year search for symptom free has improved my health... -
ARCHIVED Coping With Brain Fog
HayInNeedleStack replied to tspiggy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was taken many blood tests 5 years ago. All came back negative. I don't think I have hypothyroidism, but next time I meet my GP I'm going to ask if some of the tests also covered thyroid. -
ARCHIVED Coping With Brain Fog
HayInNeedleStack replied to tspiggy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My brain fog is also awful and afects my daily life. It gets even more magnified when I got glutened (cross-contaminated food), symptoms start ca 10 hours after eating gluten. Symptoms: Very slow reactions (to danger or when somebody speaks to me, makes driving a car too dangerous for me) Difficulty concentrating (understanding what is wanted from me... -
