I went for the endoscopy and I have celiac disease. Now I have to be on a gluten-free diet for the rest of my life. I have no symptoms of this. It all started with heart palpatations and let to this. I am going to see a dietician tomorrow. The statistics of this are interesting 1 in 133 people have this disease, however, only about 3% of these have been diagnosed. That means ther are over 2.1 million undiagnosed people with celiac disease in the US. If there is anyone that has any information at all on this disease or any dietary advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for being such a great group!

Interesting.

I take antibiotics and they do not work. I get an attack at least twice a month. It starts out by having to pee really bad and at the end it will burn really bad. Then I am sitting on the pot every 2-5 minutes trying to get all the "bad" pee out until the burning stops. I have to drink water or cranberry juice and it subsides. Then I will have the burning, but much less than the onset, for about 2-3 days. I have gone to a urologist and I check out fine. At Christmas time I started getting heart palpatations. Went to my PCP and they did a chest x-ray, stomach x-ray, blood tests etc. They found out by my bloodwork that I have low iron deficiency anemia. I got my period a week early and it lasted for 11 days. (I am never early, always 28-29 days and only lasts 5 days). I went to the gynocologist and she also said I was fine and just to keep track my period for a few months. The PCP then sent me for a colonoscopy and they did not find anything there either. While I was at the hospital the doctor told me that they were going to take more blood and test for gluten sensitivity. A week later they called me with the results. I had elevated transglutaminase (tTG) levels. Now on Monday I have to go in for an endoscopy to determine if I have celiac disease/gluten sensitivity. Which there is no cure for only the treatment of being on a gluten-free diet for the rest of my life. This is the last resort in finding a reason for my unexplained iron-deficiency anemia. To make a long story short, I found out that there is a link between UTI's and celiac disease. I have talked to people and researched on the internet that in most cases, if a person is suffering from bladder infections, goes on a gluten-free diet, it cures their bladder problems. My best friend is having a similar problem. She is in pain constantly. She has all of the symptoms of Interstitial cystitis. You can research this as well. Her doctor gave her pills telling her that she just has a weak bladder. The pills are not working for her. She is going to have the test for gluten and see how it plays out. I am not saying that you have any of these problems. I just wanted to tell you of my experiences and inform you of more avenues to for you to research. Good luck.

I left with a UT infection that they gave me a prescription for but i continuously got worse instead of better. They changed my medication and i am still not feeling well even though i went to Urgent care last night and they told me it looked like it had cleared up. My symptom is that i feel like i have to pee all the time and at night i feel like my bladder is going to explode and no pain pills they have given me have helped. I thought it could be a yeast infection so they gave me a pill to take but its still not better. Has anyone else had this and am i just being too impatient. Its been since saturday and i feel like i am going nuts!!!!! Thanks. HUGS Barb Boran [email protected] On Feb 6, 2009, at 3:17 PM, Maggie in Visalia wrote: "ROCKSTAR TOES!

Now, (on topic) I just joined a local networking grp and in listing my services one of them is Rock Star Toes. I'm needing an explanation of what they are and in my small brain the only thing that I can think of is: They are enhancements that involve layering gel and glitter with a super shiny top coat that doesn't chip. Sounds really, really, really lame, huh? Soooo, I thought I would ask my peeps for some feedback and I ideas. I really want something that they can read and understand and will blow their socks off (literally) so they will book with me to get the service. I'll be watching for your fab ideas.
