Has anyone had my symptoms?

by Margaret

My question is Has anyone had a cramping full bladder feeling as a symptom of GI???
2 years ago i began to have a full bladder feeling and a desire to urinate This was diagnosed as rinary Tract Infection even though I did not have the burning sensation that usually goes with a UTI.

Urine tests had inconsistent results sometimes showing infection sometimes coming back clear. Antibiotics gave relief only for the symptoms to return when off antibiotics, Just after these symptoms first appeared I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and was treated with Chemo for 6 months During this time I had no UTI type symptoms. I am now guessing the Immune system was low so was not fighting the Glutens.

I began to experiment with diet and tried low acid foods then went to no chemicals or artificial Living on just fresh foods mostly then I noticed that Pasta and Breads made me have attacks. So I tried Gluten free and this has worked except for times when I make mistakes with food choices which is very easy to do when first learning to go GF

My doctor agrees with my finding but because of other health issues I will not be having the Biopsy of the small intestine to confirm Celiac Disease

I've had the same symptoms, except im only diagnosed as higly allergic to gluten as my mum doesnt want me to be on a full gluten diet for 6 month for the best test results in a scope or for me to have the other end scope. But they diagnsed me with the same urinary tract infection. I told my mum it was burning because it hyad once but that was after a touch of gluten the rest it wasnt burning,. I have no idea what has gone on but it seems to be settled down though i had to go to the toot every 1/2 an hour yesterday but i did drink a whole big bottle of water. =/

 Testing in important
by: Anonymous

I thought that letting my body decide what it is happy with until my symptoms re emerged and I had the tests, they showed an autoimmune dissease and the liver function test was not a good result, celiac desease can be linked to other secondary disorders that may require urgent attention. Don't play games with self diagnosis.

 Gluten Reaction
by: Gluten Reaction

When I ingest gluten of dairy I feel like someone takes a balloon and over fills is with air so that I feel uncomfortably full, bloated and normally running to the toilet comes 15 minutes later.

Although my symptoms manifest more in my skin then anywhere else - stomach discomfort and bloating is a big part of my gluten intolerance.

I think if you feel better for avoiding gluten - there is not need to have an invasive test - listen to you body and do what is right for you.
