I have found myself wondering as of late if there is something seriously wrong with me. I never feel good, and I know that is to be expected with the depression and the Fibro crap. Well it seems like I have had a lot of issues lately that are not explained by either of those things. I know that being constipated is a side effect of some of the meds I am on, as well as the Fibro, but should it be extremely painful to poop? Every time? And I am not talking pain in the bum where it is too hard to come out, but pain in the stomach enough to make be break into a sweat and think I am going to pass out. Also, should I feel like I have menstrual cramps ALL MONTH LONG? And now it seems like half the time my kidneys are aching. I have talked to my doctor about this but he just said it was from the constipation and I was going to have to deal with it. And maybe take some Metamucil type stuff. Well I have even made my poop softer with lots of Fiber and it is still painful. I am pretty sure that since I was a child I have had a tendency for Hypochondria. But I know that since at least seventh grade I have had stomach problems and no one has been able to give me a solid answer as to why. I don't mind living with this... Well I do mind, but honestly what am I going to do??? But What if there really is something wrong and we just write it off as me over-reacting and then I die because they don't catch it in time. BAHHH! I hate the idea of finding a different doctor, but I also feel like my doctor my feel so familiar with me that he is starting to overlook things.
That was one of my worries when you told me who your dr was. Great guy, but too familiar doesn't always listen.
ReplyDeleteCELIAC disease? Just see if you can be tested for gluten sensitivity. You need to do the whole celiac/gluten panel of tests (there are 3).
I know, HUGE pain! I am nervous to broach that subject with my family (going off gluten), but it wouldn't hurt to just find out about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't want you to be so sick all the time!
Your health is worth it!
Have him test you for it!
Let me know when you need the names of the tests, I have them. I think we are going to test Sessa and R soon. yeay...
I love you! I am sorry you are sick!
ReplyDeleteI have had a number of huge digestive problems. I went to a MLM thing last night about Isotonix. I hate those type of things! But I think I may have actually learned something worth trying. Aloe juice can help the digestive tract. You may want to google it. I could also put you in contact with my friend if you are interested. I"m thinking of giving it a whirl. Let me know!
ReplyDeleteI also have a wheat allergy. Not Celiac. Adult onset following my gall bladder being removed. Definitely something to look in to.
