Stress = Mean Celiac + Depression + God Knows What

I've really had some rough days lately. The post I wrote last night, about feeling very, very sick, isnt any better. I still feel just as crappy if not worse.

And then today I came to school to find out teacher sick (meaning i've been here 7 hours before our first class even started, and i still got an hour and a half of school left)..

Then before class started I went on hi5.com and found the girlfriend or whatever of my uncle that passed away, (the one in my avatar, the one mentioned in the bottom of my signature). And we talked for a little bit online, and then I went browing around her profile and without realizing it would be there, I found some picture of him on there. Not that is a bad thing, but I mean i wanted to shed a few tears, and I couldn't people there was others around. And I honestly havent looks at photos of him in a while, so it made it hard.. :(

So that added to some other personal issues that I cant mention right now that sent me into hurt/depression.

And then before I finally did start class I tried calling the guy whos been my closest friend to me in a long time, but who has vanished for the last month and a half, and hes been the only person I can really talk to about this kind of stuff because hes the only one who'll really listen...and there was no answer.

*cries*

Twice today I've had to take Ventolin, because I felt like I was going to start having an asthma attack..

I just want to go home, NOT study for my test tomorrow, and try to beg someone to hug me!!!

I'm sorry for this post. its boring, pointless..

{{{{{hugs}}}}} I'm sorry that had to be a cyber hug. Grief is a hard thing...there's no time table to getting over it, so don't be so hard on yourself, cry as much as you want. It also makes everything else we have to deal with that much harder to deal with! I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, I hope you'll feel better soon.

I too wish I could give you a hug... I hope you can take some time for yourself and just rest and try to get feeling better. Grieving on top of not feeling good is not fun, I know... anyway {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I am sorry you are hurting. I hope for brighter days for you in the future.

Thank you guys for your hugs. Means a lot that someone out there cares..

Still in the most of my mind is the thought of why can't my uncle still be alive, and why he cant he just hop over here and help me out in all possible ways.... :(

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
