I'm not posting to complain (imagine that). I just wanted to say hello and extend a big THANK YOU to all the folks on here who have listened to me and offered some great advice...I am truly grateful for all the kindness. I know i'm not easy to deal with sometimes, but im working on that :)

I still have bad days, but things are getting a little more tolerable. I am traveling with my boss this weak and am finally going to come clean about my gluten problem (it honestly has affected my job performance, but he hasnt been complaining) - I have kept it a secret for almost 2 years and need to spill the beans.

My mom has also agreed to get tested and im still working on my aunt and cousin, everyone was in major denial at first but now I think its starting to sink in.

I'm finally going for an endoscopy in a few weeks and am also gonna get a colonoscopy in 2010. Im a bit young but I figure with my family history it couldnt hurt

As for my mental state, ive been making an effort to not focus on myself and my problems so much but its tough and I regress very quickly, but I am trying to do things in life that I enjoy to take my mind off.

I tend to pine over old girlfriends and frequently succumb to the sadness of not being in love, but for now i'm fine being single and just focusing on getting well and doing things I like.

Anyway, thanks again and hope everyone enjoys the holidays

BIG, BIG strides you've made there, Jason. :D You're on your way now, dude. The girlfriends will come later. Just concentrate on the direction you're heading and you'll be right. Coming clean is the best way to go!!

Jason, I agree, BIG strides! Just take it one day at a time! Since you seem to travel a lot, just be sure to take some great snacks with you in case you get into a pinch. When you're in larger cities, check out some vegan/raw restaurants. Almost no way to get CC, and you can have 99% of anything on the menu. Quite tasty, too. Keep up the great work!

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
