Yes, I have hydroxyzine and benadryl on board, none of which keeps me from itching.

That is strange that you mention liver function. I had several, several blood tests back in 2010 where my ALT and AST were elevated and they kept up to the point my doctor ran tests for hepatitis which were all negative and since then I've not seen a rise in them. Hmmmm...makes me think!!!

I have been gluten free since the colonoscopy.....very surprising that I am not bloating, not having the horrible gas pains, not doubled up on the toilet feeling like I could pass out at any given moment. My stool is actually starting to take a little bit of form as well. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!! My mother who is also a nurse told me....you told...

Ivermectin 21 mg PO daily then repeat in 14 days. Rash is still raging, even worse since I had the colonoscopy. As for the colonoscopy, not good, the GI doctor couldn't get the camera to go through he told me that I have a redundant and fixed colon, however he did say that I have diverticulosis, internal hemorrhoids, and they took a biopsy to test for microscopic...

I will go it on my own. It just makes sense....I have this horrible rash that burns, itches, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon and I've tried every topical and some internal remedies that are not working. I'm not the one that even brought up celiacs, that came from the initial testing that was done. The problem is that the initial blood test was...

Want the biggest laugh of your entire life..............IVERMECTIN oral for the rash. His rationale was...I don't know what this rash is caused from so we'll just start by taking this and go from there. OMG!!! I don't have scabies. I live with 9 other people. Would you not think that I would've passed it around since I've had it for 5 months. His response...

I got back to see the Air Force doctor on the 17th the get the sutures out I'll hope and pray something from the biopsy is conclusive. Anyways, feeling horrible tonight, not a lot of energy to do much. Thanks for your prayers and hugs!!

I just returned home. Not sure what to think. GI specialist stated "it can't be Celiac's because your TTG is not elevated." Okay so here's what is being done. Colonoscopy on 8/20/15 at 4:30 pm followed up by a small bowel capsule if he does not find anything on the colonoscopy. I was going to have to wait until September until they found out I've had...

The clinic just called. The GI specialist is coming in to a town 25 miles from me. My appt is tomorrow morning and 9:30 am, I have to be there by 8:45 am to do paperwork. I have never had anything move this fast in my life. I'm very astonished, but I think the doctor must want me seen quickly. Thanks for all the hugs and prayers, they are working

I'm bloating something fierce. I haven't eaten at Taco Bell in months. Yes, I feel fortunate and very relieved tonight, all except the abdominal pain, but this too shall pass. Thanks for everything, and yes the biopsy came as a total surprise. He came in the room where I was and said "What do you think about doing a biopsy of a lesion." I actually started...

Sorry for taking so long, I purposely ate at taco bell today so that I could make sure I was really glutened good and I've been sick since, laying around with a horrible gut ache. I have to do a 24 hour stool collection for more testing. This doctor I'm going to now, which I was turned over to by the PA I was using, is really nice and actually he told me...

Trying to make light of all of this is not too much fun, but I swear to you I will make sure I eat glazed doughnuts for a week before the test. I just really want some closure, this is horrible. I finally slept for 5 hours last night so I'm ready for this appointment this morning. I'm printing the tests that need to be run and want to tell all of you that...

Ravenwoodglass, Your reply is very insightful, I had just talked with my mother yesterday as she was the one who drove me to Rochester to see the neurologist asking her if she thought maybe the lesions had anything to do with gluten. I remember explicitly telling them and answering every questionnaire about my bowel related problems and having been hospitalized...

IgA, 161 Endomysial Antibody IgA, Negative tTG IgA, <2 I turn 44 in 8 days and I'm supposed to be leaving to travel by the 24th of this month in another state, I just wanted some answers before I left for work I definitely do not want to be trying to work and itching all over. Benadryl doesn't cut it neither did any of the too numerous to...

I am a registered nurse and have spent most of my adult life taking care of others but for the passed 5 months I have been very sick. Actually for most of my life I have been the child that caught every weird childhood disease and this even carried over into my adult life. When I was a child I had pityriasis, the 5th disease and seborrhea psoriasis. After...
