Talked To My Doctor Finally :-/

So I went to my doctor today (finally) about my symptoms he said it sounds just like Celiac. He did a blood test and should be getting back to me shortly. Kind of nervous about this :unsure: I also discussed with him my in ability to always walk in a straight line and my balance issues which I read something on here about Ataxia that could cause this. He did some tests in his office, which I did not exactly pass with flying colors :( Waiting now for the neurologist to call me or my doctor with an appointment. Gotta have an MRI done. I hate those things, only had one other done before when I had torn my meniscus in my left knee. Those things are sooooo loud and intimidating lol... Oh well, I will let you guys know my results soon as I get them myself. That is if anyone cares :( Wish me luck everyone!! :)

I care! :) Glad you are on the track to getting some answers. It sounds like your doc might be a good one, which is so refreshing to hear these days!

I have balance issues, too. :unsure: I cannot turn around too fast (like in the kitchen, from the stove to the sink) without loosing my balance. If it happens in public, like the grocery store, I always look around to see if anybody saw me....they might think I was drunk. :blink:

Good luck, and keep us posted for sure! :)

So 2 days later and no news from neurologist with an appt. And of course both doc's offices are closed tomorrow. I live in Central NY and everyone is waiting to see what Irene has in store for the east coast. One more unforeseen occurrence to dampen the mood around here..... Better keep the rum and tequila coming!! :P:D:lol:

      "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.

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

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.
