Only a few more days till I go see the doctor that will be doing my biopsy for a consultation, Hopefully he will tell me to come back shortly, I can't go on like this much longer. I am also having a new test done for lactose intolerant on the same day. I made an appointment with my regular family doctor to have some blood work done and possibly even a bone density scan, which sounds scarey, but we'll see.
For anyone out there who has had the biopsy done, is it really painfull? Do you get put to sleep, or give medication? How does it work? I really hope I don't end up being lactose too, on top of celiac, that would eliminate a lot ot foods.
Glad the weekend is here to relax, I am so tired all the time, constantly just have no energy, hopefully things get better soon!







As for lactose intolerance...I've read that about 50% of people with celiac disease are also lactose intolerant. However, it often goes away after being on the gluten-free diet. That happened with my son. He had been lactose intolerant ever since he was a toddler. He started the gluten-free diet at around age 14 and after being on it for about a year, his lactose intolerance went away. He can now eat as much dairy as he wants without any problems. Also, if you are lactose intolerant, you don't have to give up dair. You can switch to Lactaid milk (or any brand of lactose free milk). We're so used to it that I still buy it even though none of us are lactose intolerant. When my son was lactose intolerant, he took the Lactaid pills whenever he wanted to eat dairy and they really worked.
