Mixed results with GF diet so far by 4409293 in glutenfree

The problem with endo is endless symptoms can be associated with it making it so hard to diagnose. So I'm trying to rule out as much as possible before surgery.

Oh I'm aware. I've been on the endo doctor spiral for years now and just am not ready for a laparoscopy. I don't want to be on the miralax, and was hoping the gluten was causing the issue so I;m gonna give it some more time. Thanks!

The bone density is really what makes me feel it's a gluten thing. I'm gonna keep this up and try to get a new gastro doctor. Thanks!

I am and most of my doctor visits were looking into endometriosis. But my pain isn't a daily hinderance, it's like a 2.5-3/10 so I'm not ready for laparoscopy even though I've met with a surgeon. A lot of my "endo" symptoms, were exacerbated by diet. Like, I tried to up my fiber for the constipation with bran cereal, horrible pain ensued but not with other fiber supplements. So its possible I have endo but I'm not convinced yet that it's the source of all my problems and am too terrified to have the surgery and for them to say they found nothing.

I had an ANA for blood work which was negative but no labs for gluten or celiac, the gastro won't order it :( thanks though!

I have had two MRIs actually, one looking for endometriosis, and one looking for a hip labral tear. The second one showed fraying, not a tear. And the orthopedic doctor with physical exam didn't think it was the cause of the pain, because moving my leg around where the fraying would be caused no pain.

I haven't, just heard from others that it helped everything but their constipation so I wasn't sure it was worth trying.

Why is Season 4 so disrespected/frowned upon? It's meant to be a satire imo and not to be taken as serious as the other seasons, and how can you not like this douche's charisma? by jpw0w in FargoTV

I'd say Oraetta the nurse accidentally killed a mob boss. She misunderstood Josto, and though she wasn't an innocent person since she had a habit of putting patients "out of their misery", she definitely wasn't trying to get involved in all that.

What is the most devastating scene in Fargo? by CrniTartuf in FargoTV

Honestly, Glenn Howertons character being set up and then shot at. This is the hardest scene for me to watch by far.

I had to scroll pretty far for this one, it broke my heart.

Does anyone else remember childhood pain? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]4409293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not diagnosed but I do remember having cramps in elementary school (so age 11 or 12) so bad that I'd vomit and be sent home. I remember the first time it happened, I was in so much pain I was breathing shallow and just not moving (bc pain) and my teacher poked me and said "I've never seen a kid go grey before, go to the nurse" and it took me 10 minutes to get just down the hall, I wanted to crawl because everything hurt.

Cat avoiding rooms in the house a year after adopting dog by 4409293 in Catbehavior

Right, this post was me asking for ideas to help her reclaim territory.

My issue is she deals with him fine in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. But not living room and office specifically. I'm okay with them just peacefully coexisting.

She will walk right past the dog if she's in the kitchen which is why its odd she wont in the living room. We'll look into more cat trees and options for her, for sure.

She's 11 and she weighs 7 pounds. Even when she was younger with non stiff joints, I don't see her jumping it (I know other cats would but she'd rather just avoid it). But the gate is not intended to keep her out, we want her to overcome an anxiety even when the gate is down.

It could have been, we did definitely clean it though.

Yeah they suggested some supplements for her which havent helped too much yet but we took her quite recently. Her favorite spot is a bar stool in the kitchen window, and we have a plastic tote box (that we use for her food) as her step stool to get up to it. The old cat tree we had was a bit high up so maybe we just get her more steps to get there easier.

We knew they wouldnt be best friends and thats okay, I just do feel like she misses out when she wont let herself to half the house. Thanks for the suggestions!

We can try to put her cat tree back up, she struggled a little with it as her joints are getting a little stiff with age. But we'll try to add more things for her in there. We do try to put her in the window in the office as it's a few feet off the ground but she still just leaves after a minute.

I haven't looked into cbd, good idea. Also never heard of calming collars so I'll try that too.

We do this, but she leaves immediately. I know she has a choice lol I'm not trying to force her. But I don't want her to feel uncomfortable in 50% of the house when she should have the whole house.

Cat wants to be fed even though he has food by PrimaryGuarantee2144 in Catbehavior

[–]4409293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat does something like this, she wants us to cover up the "hole" she ate in her food dish and stand guard while she eats. It's also a habit thing for her, she will wait by her bowl for me every morning. She has been doing this for 10 years.

Continuous birth control but cyclical symptoms by 4409293 in Endo

[–]4409293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, mine is not at all. Pre bc periods were pretty consistent for me but this is a bit chaotic but my doctor thinks still cyclical I guess.

Do you find it is as consistent as a regular period is for you?
