Connecting The Dots... Gallbladder, Hysterectomy And Fibromyalgia

:huh: Over the last 10 yrs I have had my gallbladder out, then after a few years of several abdominal pain I had a hysterectomy. Within one year of my hysterectomy I started having severe aches and pains. I had all the tests and was dx as bulging disc and osteo arthritis. None of the treatments for the pain had any effect. I did some research and wondered if it might be fibromyalgia. The doctor said probably and prescribed amitryptaline. It works better than the other scripts. Then I had a friend talk about gluten sensitivity. I had never heard of that before.

I again, did my research. There seems to be a connection between all that I have gone through. I haven't had a lot of research from my doctor, he did a blood test and said that it was not celiacs. At the time I did not put gluten and celiacs together so I didn't even ask for further information.

I have been through the wringer with exams and tests and am paying on my hysto surgery and the various stuff for the fibro so more testing is not what I want to do.

I guess what I am asking is this the kind of thing that points to gluten intolerence? I am so tired of being tired, and feeling like I have the flu all the time. I am afraid if I complain they will find something else to take out!!! Not really but man, if I could have avoided some of all this by cutting out gluten...

So does anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Diana

Hi Diana,

I was dx'd with Fibro two years. Woke up on New Year's day exhausted and pain in my legs & arms. Symptom list grew over the next few weeks and became more severe.

This year we found out our daughter has severe issues with her immune system and multiple food allergies. I have spent a lot of time researching her conditions and decided to look into connections between food allergies & Fibro. I know that dairy aggrevates my tummy, ear, throat, and jaw. So, like you I'm wondering if it is gluten that is causing my Fibro-I'm not one of those people who just excepts what they are given but looks for the reason why.

Earlier this week I had a full celiac panel done including Anti Gliadin IgG which if elevated can indicate a gluten intolerance. I haven't received the results yet.

Have you removed gluten from your diet & seen any improvements?

Sam

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
