Waiting for the big relapse...

I'm perfectly fine and I'm grateful for it. But I can't shake that feeling that my first big relapse is expecting me. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a year, 5 years?... But is out there, waiting.

I've only had two optic neuritis in the left eye and double vision for 4 days that went away on its own, so I don't know how a big relapse feels. I wanted to share that I'm scared of it, since I try to act strong for my family and friends. But I'm not. I'm scared of the future.

Why me?

Does anyone has edema in the legs, feet and stomach?

Does anyone has edema in the legs, feet and stomach?

My partner was fine a few months ago, but suddenly his stomachs started becoming huge. So much so that he couldn't sleep. After eating a lot of bread one night, his stomach became huge. Around two-three hours passed in which he passed gasses and after that things calmed down.

I figured it could be celiac disease and we stopped gluten a few days ago. However, when he ate vegetables, his stomach bloated again, although not as bad as when he ate bread.

What bothers me is the edema in the legs and stomach. It's not much, but it's there - it sometimes disappears I think, though I'm not sure.

The skin on his hands is very dry and has small cut-like wounds. He also has red pimples on the legs.

Did anyone have symptoms like these?

Hubby had severe bloating after eating bread, so much so that he couldn't sleep. After passing gass for a couple of times, it calmed down. He also had edema in the belly and a few spots in his legs.

He never had problems before, he is 39 years old and it suddenly happened. After stopping bread and gluten foods, his stomach is mostly fine.

At first we thought it's heart issue and he is retaining water. Cardiologist said his heart is fine. I don't know what's happening, but after I thought it might be connected to gluten (I made homemade bread and after a few hours his stomach became huge) I began a through search over the internet and found out that people could also have edema and rashes.

Please, all, I need help. Could this rash and stomach issues be caused by this? I'm worried for him. Doctor appointment is after 20 days. I don't know what to think. Yesterday he ate some bread and he started passing gas and said he had acid reflux.
