Hi there,
My first message and I guess it won't be my last.
First of all I want to thank all people who gave me so much support the last
days. I will get back to all of you personally, but as I was overwhelmed
with advice, this might take me sometime.
Never mind my parents I have an appointment at the university hospital in
Ghent next week, with the doctor who duagnosed me as an IBS -'patient'.
I have some questions to ask you all before I visit him. I really can't
start a GF diet before i visit them. And even when I would be
Celiac-positive, which probably will be the case, it will take some time
before I will be able to follow a strict GF-diet; I guess it won't work here
in-house and I would have to wait till I can move out, which won't be before
I hand in my final thesis (15th June), as I am rather busy composing it at
the moment.
I must admit that I have quite some respect for all of you. I just returned
from the States and I don't see how I would have been able to follow this
diet abroad. Are you still able to travel. I can't image me visiting a
restaurant with a strict GF-diet. But I would do anything to get rid of the
pains.
Some questions:
1.Are there any doctors out there who have read my fysical condition? Could
you write me a note, as this would be of much use opn the hospital-visit.
2.I have received quite some colleagues with the 'blue-hands' syndrome. I
would like to go further in this and see if there is a connection. I was
convinced that there was no link, but after all these mails I realise this
can't be a coincidence.
3. How can I be screened positive with Celiac? Is there a test without the
awful colonscopy-experience?
4.What are the side-effects of Celiac. I've read something on DH,
infertility, loosing eye-sight, skelet-problems. I must say that I have
intestianl problems for quite a few years and that I have never been treated
aparet from trivial medication like Dicetel and Immodium.
One laste question and I hope I won't offend anyone with this one, but I
would like to help prevent other people going through the same awful
adolescence as I did. At 15 I was the kind of yuppish good looking fellow
in high school; although I have no TC, I guess they would have called me a
9021 or baywatch-boy in the States (but than not that well-tanned...). As
everyone I got some tiny acne spots and I changed my diet drastically. I
didn't eat less, but almost a non-fat, high-fiber diet. After some months
the acne went away (most thanks to Benzo-cream) but I reamined on the diet
for years. I guess that an over-intake of fibers can do harm to people.
Here in Belgium there are all kinds of campaigns for high-fiber diets, and
people eat sugar free gums with the awful laxative Sorbitol, Xylitol and
other stuff. I don't knwo if there is a relation between the diet and
Celiac, but if so I think we should cooporate to make people aware of the
plausible negative consequences.
