I'm so glad you got to see your GI doc. He sounds like he's so much more competent than the ER. I hope the bowel cleanse works! Like you said, Celiac disease is one of those vague and ambiguous diseases especially the way the symptoms progress. The more gluten you eat, the worse the symptoms get. And over a period of time you start to cause damage to your GI tract. It would make sense if you have this. I hope things start getting better now. I feel bad that you had to go through hell just to get to this point.

I started to research it and it makes sense but who knows with me my body is a mess. Endo, suspected lupus, seizure disorder, boderline diabetic, anemia and possible celiac. It would be my luck to have it. LOL The fact that when the doc said I have to do a rectal exam and I turned to the side immeditley mean its been to often that docs are doing that to me! It was like ok just do it! I always seem to get the weird stuff that has to involve some gross exams. Has the medical field made me not care anymore who touches me? I think it has! LOL! Thanks girls for the support I have to laugh it all off or cry and Im not much of a crier. Laughing may not cure my problems but it makes me feel better and cope easier. Im at work and everyone here is saying go home I cant let my health control me. I would rather smile all day and wait on patrons then lay in bed and be miserable. www.celiac.com/gluten-free/topic/41452-endometriosis-celiac/ found this while reasearching very interesting.

Aw, hun, just think of the bragging you can do about all the different men (and likely women) that have probed you! Here's hoping you get some answers and relief soon. Sending as many good thoughts your way as I can!

My uncle is coeliac, and he was ill for months before he was diagnosed. He lost about 2 stone and was off work. Now, because of diet changes and drugs he's fine! I really hope you get some answers soon!!

4:30 am and still no bm the first 2 hours after I took the Magnisium Citrate my belly was hard as a rock. Its not as hard now but still very big. From what I am reading if this stuff does not work a serious issue could be going on. Im in so much pain right now sleeping is not even a option.

I took the last of the orange pills and still nothing. I am preparing my house in case I go into surgery today. Doc wants a update at noon. Said if I didnt go we would discuss whats next but did not want to worry me. My sense is telling me girls that endo has won the battle with my bowels. I have a sick feeling Im going in for a resection very soon.

2nd set of pills produced a bm black of course and not any different then a regular bm for me. I have a call into the doc. Still bloated, in pain, cramping and preparing for either a visit to the hospital or Jacobs birthday party it could go either way. I am taking the bentyl to ease the cramping. Something is def wrong and a ct would be the route I would think to would go. Im not eating anything today for fear if I do it will get stuck in the colon again. They said yesterday I weigh 106 and 6 pounds of that is prob in my colon. So graphic and makes me sick to even think about eating or drinking anything.
Oh I cried myself to sleep this morning when I cry I know something is wrong. Trying to get a laugh out today if anyone knows a good joke. I did laugh at what Karen said about the men and woman who have probed me LOL!

Hmm, so you need a laugh? Well, Keri, just think... If all this crap is just sitting in your bowels and compacting... perhaps one of these days you'll sh!t out some diamonds!! Seriously, though, I can imagine you're scared and in pain and I can't say it enough that my heart goes out to you.

Awww yes DIAMONDS LOL! I love sparkles! I put in a 2nd call to the GI doc and still not word back from them. I want it all to come out not just a little. Doc said yesterday a CT would be ordered when my stomach could handle the contrast they can do it IV contrast. Come on this is ridiculas.
Update they called and said calling in a script for golightly I have to use it ASAP to clean out the colon and it should get me going within 15 minutes. I guess I should be going all night after I take it so I have to miss Jacobs party. I feel horrible like the worst mom. After I the cleanse I asked if I eat or what I guess I can but and afraid to. If it happens again then what? I go to see the doc on Nov 2nd. I guess they are waiting for the CT scan. I have no idea why but Im just the patient.

Aww hun...I took picolax (mega mega strong purgative) a few months back and not much happened, it was scary that I took something so strong but things barely moved, so I feel for ya. Don't you just get desperate to feel empty!

Im afraid when I am all empty that is will happen again. I do not understand why a ct is not being ordered now. I doubt I will be eating much until I see the doc I need this to work! After I am cleaned out then I will deal with the complaint with the hospital and all the wrong stuff they did with my case. To wait on a CT this long is nutts. The celiac test should be in sometime next week I hope they atleast contact me to tell me if I have that. GOSH I am freaking out over here.
