So after being turned away from my nutritionist and being advise to seeing my GI specialist, I went to see her. Reluctantly I might add. Apparently my body loves storing fat. I explained my new symptoms. I have been in remission from UC for a little over a year now but am finally to the point I am tired of being bloated and feeling so full after I eat or drink something. I just don't understand.
They are testing everything known to man in my blood it seems. I had a CT Scan on Friday. My colon was not happy about the barium as I was gassy and very bloated for over a day. Looked like I was 3 mths pregnant. I go in next week for an upper GI. She rattled off so many possibilities I can't remember them all. One was a slow emptying stomach, then ulcers, and celiac disease. If it's celiac disease I'm going to be crushed! What in the world will I eat and how will I afford to eat. It will suck majorly.
I have no physical pain except for when they push on my stomach all around. High and low. This latest news has me depressed already. How does a person live with UC and Celiac disease.
:(

Hello. I am also a UC patient...but I don't suffer from Celiac Disease. Here is an idea though, maybe your body is having a response to a medication you took at some point to help manage your UC? Something similar happened to me after I took a mild steroid medication after first being diagnosed with UC (several months after I came off the medication, I had a bit of a flair up, and my new GI doctor ordered some liver tests). There seems to be nothing wrong with my liver...for now. My point is, try not to worry so much about what is happening (easier said than done) and enjoy the fact that your UC is under control. I hope this helps...if not, my apologies.
Take care.
