I wrote a few days ago that I had been severly ill. I went to the doctor yeterday and today. I haven't eaten for 5 days and am still sipping some fluids. He said my hemoglobin is 10. I have had since Monday (sorry a little gross) very watery black stools. I had to take specimens in today and am waiting to hear the results. He started me on Promethazine tonight and did more blood work today. I am just so tired and want to know what is going on. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers so I can start to feel better.

I hope you feel better soon. Ten is awfully low! Are you bleeding? Is that what they are suspecting?

If you are not eating, please drink lots of fluids...gatoraid is good. It could be just a flu bug. But, never the less keep hydrated.

Check in soon.

I'm sorry you're sick :(

The promethazine (phenergan) will help you get relief, though.

I hope they figure out what's wrong soon, gluten is often not the/only problem.

Thank you for all the kind thoughts and words. I still haven't heard from the doctor on my specimens or my blood work. It is so frustrating to sit and wait for them to call. I did manage to eat a little rice last night. I will keep you all updated. Thanks again for the support, it really helps.

My doctor's nurse finally called. She said that what she could tell me is that my iron level that was supposed to be between 15 and 55 was at 9. My hemoglobin had dropped below 10 and my hematacrit?? was at 20 something ( I do not remember) My stool tests came back negative for salmonella, e coli, and parasites. It did show signs of blood loss (duh). I am scheduled to do another IV iron infusion on Monday. She said there is a bad stomach flu going around and with my system already injured that this really got to me. I did eat some potato soup broth tonight and so far so good. Thanks again

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
