Well This Really Stinks

I thought I got glutened a few days ago so I just was toughing it out with the nausea, vomiting and terrible lower abdominal pain.

But 6 days later I was getting worse and last night I started having horrible pain in my lower tummy area and my lower back. It also hurt to pee so I thought I better go to the doc.

Not only do I have a bladder infection, but because I let it go so many days it has spread to my kidneys and is extremely painful.

We CANNOT win with the flucking flacking disease!!!!! If we go in and it's a glutening we are hypochondriacs or whatever. But now I don't go in to the doc thinking it's just a glutening and end up with a horrible infection.

Can I just scream????? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thanks. I feel better now.

Oh no! Feel better soon! I know how you feel though...I always wait til the last minute to go to the doctor because I'm never 100% sure it's not a glutening.

You poor thing--I'm so sorry :(

I read your popcorn thread, and actually thought you had a stomach virus but hesitated to say anything for the same reason :lol: Sometimes we can't win for losing!

Anywho--hope you feel better soon :)

Oh so sorry to hear that! I know just what you mean - I get this weird pain right where my kidneys are when I get glutened, sometimes, and I DID go to the doctor the first time, and yup - tests got nothing, so it must be in my head.

Can't win for losing, sometimes, you're absolutely right. <_<

HOpe that you recover quickly and smoothly, with lots of yummy food along the way.

Yes you can scream!!!! SO sorry to hear that!!! I actually brought a urine sample into my GI when I first had my flare (almost 2 months ago) because I don't have a GP in my new town yet. He told me to throw it out. The symptoms of Celiac (lower abdominal and back pain) are SO similar to UTI's. We're damned of we do and damned if we don't. Hang in there!!! Are you on antibiotics and rare we allowed cranberry juice on our diet?

Sending healing (((((HUGS)))))

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
