Gall baddder disease

[Sheralyn]

Has any one had any problems with thier gall badder? Or already had it removed?

I was wondering if there is a connection with CD.

Yes, I did have mine out last October. I also had lymphnodes removed from neck the previous Feb. I was diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago and have been l00%gf, my 6 kids too. You can read more about other medical stuff Ive encountered in my posts on the general discussion board and in answering others questions on the multiple food allergies one too. Ive now got Refractory Sprue and am being sent to Boston to Beth Israel, they've got a Celiac Center there. Im in Central Florida. I had gb trouble before I knew I had Celiac too by the way. Take care. Lynne

Hi Lynne,

This is where you're going?? Will you be seeing Ciaran Kelly? He's published many many articles on CD. I think you'll be in good hands.

Are you being treated with steroids for your RS?

Good luck with your appt. Please, let us know how it goes!

Yes, thats where Im being sent to. I will find out more next week about the results from the Capsule Endoscopy. Im on many meds, but one is prednisolone, the liquid kind is gf. Funny, the pill form made me really crazy,grumpy bigtime and would even see shadow people. This one makes me wired and happy! I have now completed washing every single wall,baseboard,crown molding,and window on the first floor today. Ive got a 3000 sf house we rent and over 30 windows! Im using this energy wisely but I should would like to sleep sometime! Im still trying to find someone else who has gone through the Refractory Sprue, any ideas? How are you doing? Hope you get some good sleep tonight! Take care. Lynne

OMGOSH - 30 windows?!?!?! You must look like Mrs Howell after eating radio active sugar beets on Gilligan's Island.

Of all the people that that I've come in contact with, I think there's only be 1 other one that had supected RS. There are other factors,diseases and issues that can cause villous atrophy. Are they sending you to BIMDC for a 2nd opinion?

I'm doing quite well. I'll get more sleep when I finish a class I'm taking Thank goodness I don't have 30 windows to clean too LOL!!

I had mine removed when I was 16. My dad had his removed in his 40s. Both were due to stones, and there's a long history of "tummy troubles" on both sides of my family.

I haven't been CD diagnosed but I have had my gall bladder removed. About two years ago, and it was the year before that when the chronic D started. The weird thing about the gall bladder is that they said the ultrasound showed gallstones, but after they took it out they said it looked healthy. Anyway, the surgery helped for a while but the D came back, and it's only gotten worse.

I'm working on getting diagnosed, I live in Cleveland, I've seen two GIs at the Cleveland Clinic and they've both been so rude, one even made inappropriate comments to me. I know it's not a glamorous job, but are there any good GIs?
