I have celiac disease. Will I ever stop being angry about it? I can't seem to get past it.?

Discovering a disease is like any other grief process. Maybe you need to be angry for a while. Ask your doctor about some support groups. If the doc is not helpful, look online. I find things that are face to face are more helpful and feel more "real" than just online, so try and find people facing this near you. \n\nMaybe you can start a blog or written journal for your feelings. I find that writing things down, the act of putting pen to paper, seems to make things very clear. That whole idea of having something in "black and white."

Oh, PLEASE. "God will help you!" I'm still waiting.\n\nI was involved in three car smashes in the space of four years. Each time I was hit from behind by another driver - two of these three were hit-and-run. I now suffer pain, day and night, including chronic migraines and sometimes, agony so bad that I literally cannot think. I have fibromyalgia, which is chronic incurable pain. I had to give up ballroom dancing, martial arts, horseriding and more. I can't even do grocery shopping anymore and have had a disabled parking permit since I was around 24 years old. A good night's sleep doesn't help, because when you have fibro, there's no such thing as a "good night's sleep". The pain is such that proper sleep - and often, ANY sleep - is impossible.\n\nInterestingly, I was a devout born-again Christian at the time of the first two accidents. Jesus didn't help me.\n\nTo give you an idea of what fibromyalgia is like, have you ever been in a car smash and when you woke up the next day, you could barely move? Or have you ever had a really bad flu, so bad that every part of your body ached and you couldn't think? That is what fibro is like - EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have days where the pain is so bad, I can barely move and even just lying down in bed is agonising. Two Panadeine Forte don't do a damned thing (that's 60mg codeine and 1000mg paracetamol).\n\nYet I know that there are people who suffer much more pain than I do, and I cannot believe that there are other people who would stop them from ending their own life. The pain I endure on a daily basis has been disabling and debilitating - I no longer have a social life and doing normal, everyday things is nearly impossible. Even standing in a queue is an almost insurmountable task for me. But I *can* stand, and I *can* walk. What about those who can't?\n\nI am willing to put money on it, that the people who would have the "right to die" made illegal, have never truly experienced severe pain, and if they have, they haven't lived with it day in, day out, year in, year out.\n\nUntil these people live in agony every second of every day, year after year, with no cure and minimal relief (if any), they have NO RIGHT to stop another person from ending their own life.

Try taking a shot glass of water with a teaspoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with a dash of cinnamon three times a day. \n\n\nDrink three glasses of water each day with 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt.\n\n\n\nAlso drink fresh squeezed lemonaide.\n\nTry an elimination diet.\nAvoid Dairy for a week and see if you may be lactose intolerant. Dairy is way over rated.\n\nAvoid Wheat foods and processed that contain glutens for a week.\n\nSwitch to sea salt instead of tablesalt sold in grocery stores. This will help with PH balancing.\n\n\nGut problems come from many things but it could be that you have excessive parasites. Pick up some wild oregeno oil and take a drop of it in carrot juice three times a day until you finish the bottle or your body tells you to stop. No sensible parasite would stay in a body with that stuff in it..\n\nListen to your body. Stay tuned to what it needs.

Have her tested for celiac disease.  Take a look at this link from the National Institutes of Health regarding celiac.  http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/ \n\nIf that starts ringing bells, visit www.glutenfreeforum.com and ask any questions you may have.  There may be someone in your city who can recommend a doctor too.  \n\nCeliac is commonly misdiagnosed and many doctors still think that if a person is overweight, they can't have it.  Which isn't the case at all.  I was overweight when I was diagnosed.  \n\nBeing tired and depressed along with the IBS symptoms were some of the things I struggled with too.  I also didn't do well in school as a child because I was always so tired and I couldn't concentrate.  \n\nHope that helps\n\nNancy

First accept that you will have to live with the disease for the rest of your life.  Be positive about the disease.  Don't spend your time thinking about the disease, keep your mind focused on things that keep your life going and most of all put everything in the hands of the One Above - God.  Do things that you like most and avoid things that put you down.   Associate with people that will support you and understand your situation, if you can join a support group.  Try it, it works.

I seriously am the same way and I have no idea how to control it naturally, I'm beginning to think we can't. I REFUSE to take any medicine and I just wish there was something else.

I am so sorry that you are facing intolerance in a time when you need all the support you can get.  It's unfortunate, but some societies aren't used to dealing with mental disorders.  Some bury the disorders or dismiss them as someone trying to get attention.  I don't know much about Taiwan, but here in the USA, Manic/Depressive Disorder (or Bipolar Disorder) is also misunderstood sometimes.  Perhaps there is some kind of support group in your area that would be able to help you deal with all the adversity you are facing.\nGood luck.  I'll pray for you.

TONS!  It was thought that I had IBS, but I ended up having celiac disease.  They're now starting to say that if you have a diagnosis of IBS, you should be tested for celiac.  \n\nTake a look at this page by the National Insitutes of Health on Celiac. \n\nhttp://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/\n\nIf that starts ringing bells, here are a couple of message boards for people with celiac and other gluten intolerances.  \n\nwww.glutenfreeforum.com\nwww.celiacforums.com\n\nAlso, I never knew that some of the most common foods are also the most common things that people are either allergic to or intolerant of.   So if it's not a gluten intolerance, some of the other things that you may want to consider paying attention to are soy, dairy, yeast and eggs.   You can be intolerant to just about anything though, so sometimes when you're trying to figure something like this out, it's a good idea to keep a food diary for a while just so you can try and identify what the pattern is, if any.  \n\nWell, I hope you start feeling better soon.  \n\nNancy

Continue to live the way you have been, take time to let your loved ones (friends and family) know how much you have enjoyed knowing them and that you love them. Getting hysterical will only make the situation worse, though I realize that it is easier said than done to not get a bit hysterical. Go on and enjoy the months you have left, find things to laugh about daily. I have diabetes and I live everyday like it was my last. I tell my husband and son how much I love them and friends are told how much they are cherished also.

I am chronically ill.  Lately I found that my doctor has been mal-treating me for the last four years.  I am a peaceful person, but this has had me furious.  I have thought how much fun it would be to break him in half.  So, in this case it is good that I've not gotten out much.

I have also had that problem.  It is most difficult to live like this.  Look for a support group in your area.  Knowing other people suffer from this and are willing to talk about it really helps.  Bulimia is a very dangerous and serious disease to live with.  It can cause you to have serious health problems if not stopped.  Please seek help!  Best of luck and know that you have done one of the hardest things a bulimic does-----you admitted you have Bulimia!!!!

Wow sorry to hear about this. I myself have MS with Chronic pain so I know exactly where you are coming from because that was my diagnosis along with fibromyalgia for many years.\nLearn to pace yourself and to stop beating yourself up because you CAN'T do it today.\n It isn't easy but with time it will be\n Check out the fibro site below they offer some pretty good advice on dealing with all those issues you mention.

first you have to realize what emotion are you feeding. are you upset about something? did some one hurt you? and instead of voicing your anger you stuff it down with food? are you feeding a lonely girl inside? what ever the reason find out what it is. I would suggest going to therapy and having a professional help you unearth what it is that causes you to act this way. I do the same thing but with shopping. we found out that when i get stressed I go shopping. so instead of shopping i now deal with what is causing me stress and put away the debit card!\ngood luck !

sorry to hear about your situation.....it sounds like you could benefit from a support group or some one on one counseling....I would ask your primary care doctor for some referrals on both.....it would be a good chance to vent your frustrations, fears, depression, emotions etc.....if your situation is such thaat you are homebound or not able to find this help I would try an online support community..here is a link to one http://groups.msn.com/ChronicPainSupportGroupCPSG and another  http://chronicpainsupport.org/ \n\ngood luck...hope you feel better

I really have the same problem with you right now. I eat once per day (very small amount), and i just had my lunch, i really want to puke. I feel guilty after having my lunch. I'm suffering, i'm hungry, and i drink a lot of water to cover it, i have a bad gastric problem since i was 8, but i'm still doing this until today. I feel very stupid. I wish that i could stop it. \n\nTrust me, if someone said that you are skinny, please eat ! Eat 3 times per day, but don't eat too much. Exercise, ut do not over exercise (1 hour per day, it's enough). Love your body please ...

yeah it used to make me so angry!\nthe way i've learned to deal with it is make it very apparent that there is certain stuff I won't put up with. for the past 3 years i have taken no nonsense from guys i've dated. if someone lies to me, or i can tell is using me, i call him on it. i let him know it's unacceptable and i don't keep those types of ppl around. i am not a mean person; i will do almost anything for people in need and i don't look for fights but when i have someone close to me i do not want them to be treating me badly and i won't stand for it. because of this, everyone who knows me now knows i won't be used (a few years ago this guy used me 'til the cows came home.. thank goodness i will never go through that hell again!)\n\ni would be angry at myself and at them for using me. i've turned that frustration into motivation to keep my life and relationships cleaner and healthier and always think "do i really want this (how the person's treating me) in my life? is this good?"
