CELIAC (SPRUE) DISEASE COMMUNITY
Urgent

Urgent

Hi my names stephanie im 15, and this is a bit of a emergency question because im getting sicker. for the past year ive had lower abdomen/ kidney area discomfort. and sometimes it would flare up and become very painful. the past months ive been getting different symptoms that im not sure point to whats wrong or not. the pain has become increasingly worse by my lower abdomen/ kidney area. and the past week and a half its been so bad i cant get out of bed im extreamly weak  my body is freezing cold my hair has been falling out i have extreme headaches and constipation/diarrea. Im barley able to type this now. Ive been to the emergency room a few times they did every kind of test. but i dont know what they looked for. everytime it came back negative. i was put on painkillers and sent home. A few days ago i got a blood test for celiac disease the wheat allergy came back positive. and i had a endosopy today to see if thats whats wrong. we don't get the results for a week. but i was wondering if anyone had any ideas or could help me. im getting sicker by the day. and me and my family are scared. and were not sure if we should go back to the hospital or wait because im feeling so sick. if someones able to help that would mean everything to me. thank you.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. It is very upsetting when the doctors can't tell you anything but you know something is not right. I'm not sure about your symptoms being related to gluten intolerance however, I do know that gluten intolerance and celiac disease effects people in many different ways. My instinct would be to go back if you are getting worse because it seems there is obviously something they are missing.
I would advise in the meantime if you are able, to research celiac disease and gluten intolerance symptoms. You can find quite a bit of information online these days.
I would also highly advise you to try the gluten free diet right away to see if it helps at all. Keep in mind removing gluten completely from your system can take up to 2 weeks so you would have to be very strict about your eating habits for it to work.
Good luck to you ; )
