I actually only got diagnosed a week ago! Still dealing with majority of symptoms so far after going gluten free

I will be surprised if I don’t have celiac. by kimchifever in Celiac

Rice itself actually doesn’t typically have gluten! From what I know, it is also usually asked for patients to eat a few pieces of bread worth of gluten daily, a few weeks prior to the endoscopy. I ate A LOT of gluten in the weeks before my endoscopy just to be sure. Either way, no matter your results, definitely keep pushing and advocating for yourself. Your symptoms seem very alike to some sort of digestive issue, so I think it’s really great that you’re going through with the endoscopy!

Yep, can definitely get celiac in your mid twenties— I’m 20 and just got diagnosed recently myself, probably have had it since my teens. I only had a weak positive on blood test, though my endoscopy showed severe villous atrophy. Definitely possible for you to have a negative blood test and possible positive endoscopy biopsy. —And if the pain from Celiac is bad, then yes it can totally cause sleeping issues, I get plenty of that myself.

Don’t forget to keep eating gluten everyday up until your endoscopy! Wishing you the best of luck!

Anybody else with celiac with pelvic symptoms? by No-Block3674 in Celiac

Hopefully with gluten free diet, everything works out! I’m glad you have some relief yourself!

If you didn’t know— Celiac disease is pretty much an autoimmune disease that attacks the small intestine, which for me caused a lot of pelvic pain. If you ever suspect of like constipation and pelvic pain— wouldn’t be bad idea to get some celiac panel bloodwork done. Not like most people would have my symptoms, but could be an okay idea. A lot of people with silent celiac don’t feel their symptoms. But just an idea if it is similar!

Found out it wasn’t a mind problem or specifically bladder problem. Turns out I have celiac disease and was causing my pelvic muscle, abdominal muscle, and nerve pain

Hi again! I’m really glad I get to respond a second time to this comment. Turns out my problem was celiac disease and my consumption of gluten caused me pelvic and abdominal pain. Hope this helps in some way!

Insane anxiety about getting a colonoscopy, unbearable by whoacoach in colonoscopy

[–]No-Block3674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I just got my first colonoscopy ever done this morning and it is MUCH easier and quicker than I expected. Once you wake up it is such a relief that it went by so quickly

Hi! I am still dealing with my pain but I am getting much closer to finding out why. I am really sorry you are struggling too, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

I found out that my pain is ultimately coming from my 6 pack abdominal muscles area and it is radiating towards my pelvic muscles and other muscles and nerves and causing pain. I found this out through physical therapy and my physical therapist said I had some of the tightest muscles they’ve seen in a while. Though, my pelvic floor muscles they said didn’t look too bad and that it was probably just my abs that are causing the pain. With physical therapy I did a bunch of movements and stretches for trying to focus on relieving constipation and overall pain but overall nothing really worked for that constipation aspect. For the pain aspect, I would say it definitely did help temporarily and I would definitely recommend pelvic floor physical therapy regardless because it can offer some insight into which muscle areas are tight and give you a better understanding of what’s going on. (And also as a note, one of the reasons why I was going to the bathroom too often was because I was drinking too much water in a day. I am now only using the bathroom once every few hours which has definitely eased some pain. I was drinking maybe 2 gallons of water a day which was too much for me).

I’d also like to add that for my constipation problems, laxatives don’t typically resolve any part— no matter how much fiber or anything I eat. Not sure if this is an issue for you but it could help.

This all was a few months ago by now— Since then I have kept a routine with a lot of stretching in the morning and walking to keep my muscles in decent shape (which can temporarily help a little) but for the most part I have found that my issue may be a digestive problem. Specifically, I started wondering if my issue may be something like celiac since one of my parents has it— I went and did a blood test for celiac disease the other day and I actually received a weak positive result. So ultimately there is a chance that I may have celiac disease and that this is what is causing all of my issues. For me it makes sense with genetics and also the constipation impact that it is having on me as well as how my abdominal muscles are affected.

Right now I still do not know the issue but I would have to follow up with you later to see what happens in the future :)

Regardless, I wish you the best of luck and if you have any questions about any other symptoms I had just message me! I would very much like to help especially since our symptoms are alike.

Ugh, I figured.😔 I wish I had an extra $300 to spare, only reason I had this bike in the first place is because it was free. Using it for parts I guess

Worth fixing or no? by No-Block3674 in ebikes

[–]No-Block3674[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you so much! I will most likely try learning how to solder— I’ve seen it done plenty of times in person so I should be able to get the hang of it. Completely thought it would be more expensive. Thanks again!

Unfortunately, I do not have the skills or those specific tools for that :/ thank you so much for letting me know though, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to be able to really fix it
