ah right - ive a few mates with similar symptoms.

as i now know what you're maybe dealing with (based upon the unwelcome tests / their results) i have to ask based upon my mates experience, have you any history of narcilepsy? - i ask not only to see if theres anything i can pass to you from them, but also in reverse.

hope ya get it sorted!

Doctors years ago Thought I had Irritable bowel Syndrome Now the New doctors I'm seeing think its Coeliacs disease My intestines feel Like they are Being Deep fried in HOT OIL!!

No worries. 30 is the perfect age in many ways. You can strut about with an air of superiority and be called sir, and still date 20 yr olds.

Well, I hate to apply more possibilities on you, but if treatment and diagnosis dont work, then be sure to ask about interstitial cystitis - thats my mums problem (and soon, possibly mine too).

I hate saying stuff like that on the net, but if your problems should continue it will be worth asking about at least.

I'm not one for sentiments (at all!), but I genuinely wish you well as I know from my close family how much of a cunt that feeling can be!

It Isn't in my bladder and I can normally urinate it's my intestinal cramps Diarrhea bloating after eating ANYTHING! And like my intestines are on fire It's similar to appendicitis and it's in the same General area lower Right abdomen but the doctors Ruled that out because I have had the pain for a year and a Half NON-STOP! and am Not dead obviously.

you're thinking of the more common cystitis i think - interstitial is a quite a bit "deeper" - and very much like you have described. so are many other conditions though and as it is your birthday you should concentrate on enjoying it as best you can.

im really very sorry if ive made your day any worse, but please do what you can to relax, get those tests done and feel free to converse via PM if you'd like to know more on my side of things in a day or two (with the IC etc) as I cant help but think i'm making the situation worse for you right now! either way, see what your doctor (s) says.

right now, enjoy life as best you can! - its yer damned birthday and you should be posting in the gift request threads at the very least eh?! :)

Happy Birthday for what it's worth. My Birthday was yesterday and it sucked, like you, I had no party, no cake and my only daughter forgot to call me. On top of all that I had to work the late night shift. Hopefully, next year we will have better birthdays :P

If they think you might have Celiacs Disease, then avoid stuff with gluten.

"What the hell is gluten?"
It's the stuff potentially screwing up your intestines and digestive whatnots.

"Where do I find gluten so I know how to avoid it?"
Wheat-based products
MSG
Modified food starch

Those are the big ones we look for on the label if we're gonna have Mom over for food - she's been diagnosed with it since around 1986-87.

Gotta be real careful about your alcohols, too. Plenty of sites online can tell you what's safe and what isn't.

The good news is that the food industry is starting to catch on, so lots of stuff nowadays is labeled gluten-free and more restaurants have g-f menus. It isn't nearly as tough today as it was even 10 years ago.

So try going a few days without wheat products and see if you're feeling better. That still leaves corn-based flours and the like. Mom has flour blends consisting of rice flour, potato starch, and xantham gum that do a fair approximation of wheat flour for baking and such. Okay, so the breads and cookies are crumbly but they still taste good.

And Happy Birthday despite things looking glum at the moment.

Happy Birthday .

Thank god I'm Not alone with how I feel

Happy Birthday, fr33kSh0w2012! ^ ^

Thanks I'm In Not a Lot of pain a.t.m. so I'm a Bit happier!


Thanks!

I used to see these warnings as utter, elementary-D.A.R.E.-class fearporn... Until I turned 28 this year. People don't realize how "young" feels until you lose it lol. Some weird shit happens folks.... I'm talking in my case all of a sudden this year my arms get sweaty and shoulders get sweaty, as if I was at the beach except I'm in my room with the air conditioner on. I feel like I'm 40 years old, internally lol. And don't get me started on my bowl movements...

I've already had cataracts...twice. The body falls apart quickly.

Happy Birthday!!
