Frustrated

I was dx in Jan. 04 with celiac disease, I started gluten-free diet and started feeling 100% better, I also have DH which comes and goes. But in June I was admitted into the hospital for kidney stones in both kidneys, and had them reforming for 2 months. Now just little ones. But the CT has shown alot of swelling in the mesenteric area, which they put me on steroids- which did not help. The inflamation is still there. I have alot of pain on my sides and alot pain on both kidneys. The doc's don't believe this pain can be from the stones, since they are so small. Does anyone else have this problem? And the diahrea has come back off and on, just since June. Also the right side of my neck feels wierd, its not my throat but to the side it fells like something is there moving but I don't fell a lump. Faith

I don't have any ideas, but want to encourage you to keep up with the doctors, and find a nephrologist (kidney-specialist) if you haven't been to one and think that would help. If your current doctor isn't helping, don't hesitate to find a second, or third, opinion on the issue. You could consider eliminating likely food allergens to see if that helps the diarreah, while you wait to get in to the doctor's office.

I had pains like that and they thought it was my appendix but it was really just constipation

      Thank you.  Just wanted to see if there was anything out there. Not in need of any specific vitamins or mineral. Trying to cover all my bases. 🙂.    By the way, what is your picture from or what does it represent? Are you an Aquarius?

      They've not made that call at this point. They say it looks more like Celiac's than common variable immune deficiency.  They say to get a positive diagnosis another endoscopy is needed after I've been on gluten-free diet awhile.  So, waiting for more input from Docs'.

      Hi All! I recieved some coeliac serology test results but I am yet to see my g.p can anyone please confirm what these numbers mean?? Tissue transglutaminase IgA - 3 units (<20) Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG - 26H units (<20)   My IgG is high, does this mean it is positive?

      Karen, welcome to the forum. Another thing to add:  Belly bloat can persist if you are lactose intolerant, a situation caused by coeliac disease or it can simply be a stand alone condition.  In the case of coeliac disease, it could be your damaged gut cannot break down lactose efficiently but, in time, once the gut heals, your lactose intolerance and bloating should improve.  You might also find it helpful to stay clear of certain high fibre foods for a while, perhaps keeping a food diary to see if any are causing you to bloat a lot or give you stomach pain.  Lentils and soya were an issue for me in the short term, while I was recovering.  Also, are you taking iron - that can really hurt your belly and in my case it added to the bloating. The other point I wanted to make is has your doctor looked into any other reasons for your belly bloat.? There are a number of other gastric conditions that can result in a bloated belly.  A blood test and an ultrasound to check for possible gynaecological issues could also be something to speak to your GP about. It took me a few months for my bloating to subside, but the journey which involved a few tests along the way to ensure nothing else was was worth it.   Cristiana
