Hey Other Sufferers! Diagnosis tomorrow


AlexanotlikeAmazon

Recommended Posts

AlexanotlikeAmazon Newbie

Hey there everyone! 
So I finally have my diagnosis TOMORROW! I’m 22 years old and feel like I’ve been dealing with this for 4 years now, but within the last year everything has got progressively worse. I guess I should’ve asked some of these questions months ago. But hey here we are...

Anyway, I had the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy done about two weeks ago, with stool samples, and biopsies. 

My question is: Has anyone who is diagnosed, experience these specific symptoms.

when I wake up I feel as if I’m hypoglycemic, my body is tingly, cold sweats (no matter how I dress myself when going to sleep) and then the urgency to go release a bowel movement (usually extremely oily, Diarrhea, or thin stringy) 

Also I feel as if my joints and bones are popping out of place a lot more frequently and a lot more painfully then they ever had ( this was a hard one to pin point because I use to dance competitively and so my joints naturally crack and pop in and out of place) 

I have ALLLL of the other symptoms that all lead to Celiacs, but I truly just want to know if anyone else had the same morning routine/experience. 
 

(if anyone is wondering my back story, I’ve always been a fit young girl, never had health problems, ate pretty good, except for the occasional gatherings, and parties. I recently got diagnosed with Endometriosis last November as that was something else I had suspected I had FOR YEARS. I’m glad I finally went to the Gastroenterologist but geez this celiacs seems like no freakin joke, if it ends up being the answer)

The oily stools and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms. It sounds like you may have other medical issues as well. It is common for celiacs to develop other autoimmune diseases.

That’s what I’ve been told/researched and found! Also, definitely will be checking after the diagnosis to make sure there aren’t any other underlying issues.

Did you get any blood tests done? Normally you would have a blood screening before doing the endoscopy. If so, please share the results. If not, you should ask your doctor to do this before you go gluten-free.

Hi there, my doctor had asked for the stool and blood samples the day of my first appointment, She had said that we’d go over ALL of the results from the tests to the endoscopy/colonoscopy and biopsies on the follow up. Unfortunately they rescheduled my follow up without me knowing. So I won’t be able to give an update till tomorrow.

Good luck, please let us know how things turn out!

Good luck, looking forward to reading about it

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone! 
    • Celiacsugh
      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
    • trents
      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
