1 Week Gluten Free

Even though my blood test came back negative, I decided to go back to being gluten free. My doctor has been no help. I requested a referral to a GI. She disagreed and won't give me one! Instead she is referring me to another internist for a consult!!!! So I just decided to go gluten free on my own. That was last Thursday.

Symptoms are not gone. But I will say I am feeling better. No fevers this week. Joints are a little better. And I am not nearly as fatigued. The best was that I had two people comment to me yesterday that I looked like I had more energy.

I am still waiting on this appointment with this other doctor.... but I am just so happy because I actually feel like I could be on the road to recovery!

I hope the Internist has a more open mind? You don't need to have a Dr. tell you it's ok to be gluten-free, but it helps a lot if they're on board.

Make a list of all of the symptoms you had..and a list of what's improving. It might be helpful when talking to the new Doc?

I hope so too! I am sick of doctors, to be completely honest. I am tempted to give up on them. If this one looks at me like I am crazy then I am seriously done.

I am starting to bounce back... every day is a little better then then one before. The only difference, is going gluten free. Last night I felt some more joint pain, but it was a terribly rainy night, and I worked both of my jobs yesterday (14 hour day). So I guess that could be expected.

Thank you to everyone who has been so wonderful on this board!

      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.
