I have the pills, my dr said it will also help with the acid and stomach pain. I haven't been able to leave the house the last 2 days because of the pain :angry: I have no idea why I'm this sick

Betty--I hope this med will help, it seems like you've been sick for a while now. Let me know how you're doing. And, thanks for the nice PM--that was so sweet of you :)

Does the doctor have any idea why you're so sick?

hi patti, I've had every test the drs can think of..slow digestion, gerd and a [borderline positive] celiac blood test...still having quite a bit of pain..I am better than before going gluten-free. I just can't figure this one out, my belly was feeling pretty good, then within 10 minutes a couple days ago I was in sever pain, it's killing me and the grumbling and bloating is awful

I did make a chicken dinner with soy and a rice dish with soy but that was sunday night, I don't think it would take 2 days to bother me

I keep thinking about eating gluten again just to see if I'm any worse than I already am, but my dr feels the blood test was enough of a confirmation, when I took the test I was about 90% gluten-free so we were very surprise to see a borderline positive, even the dr expected it to be negitive..he said "he believes it would have been even higher if I was eating full gluten"

I'm at a loss and to be honest very scared and had enough of this pain

well, I said too much lol

thanks for your kindness

You did not say too much! I was impressed that your doctor took the borderline test seriously--and even admitted it would have been higher if you were still on gluten. I was having similar things going on in December--after being gluten-free for a few months. I had D, but worse, I began to have pain--which I really didn't have before I was dx. Anyway, through a lot of trial and error, I found that the rice and other grains and starches (tapioca) I was using in place of wheat were the problem. Have you tried cutting out grains and see if that helps? I really do much better when I don't eat them at all. I've switched to potato-based or almond milks instead of rice. Just a thought :)

ebrbetty Rising Star

I will try cutting out my rice, I've been eating rice everyday since going gluten-free. what do you have for a side dish with dinner? I used to have baked potato with lots of butter, but the butter gives me heartburn...this is not easy and when I'm in pain like this I get scared and want to give up...thanks for the help

hugs :D

I know what you mean, potatoes can get "old" after a while! I eat potatoes frequently--but I make them in different ways. Also, sweet potatoes. Last week, for the first time, I made spaghetti squash, and it was pretty good! What finally made me suspect the rice, was that I knew SOMETHING was making me sick, and I thought--well, what do I eat every day? So I thought, I have rice bread, rice milk, cereals and cookies made with rice and plain rice in a meal. Needless to say, I had to replace those things, but the result was worth it. I don't know if grains are your problem, but I think it may be a good place to start. It can't hurt ;)

ebrbetty Rising Star

you're right patti, it can't hurt..the rice is the one thing I eat almost everyday. I will stay away from it and see if it helps

my thanks once again!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yes--try it for a few days at least--let me know how you do! :)

You might also want to look at the soy as what is making you so ill. And yes, it can take a couple of days after eating to start being sick.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.
