Hey powerofpositivethinking, just wondering if you had any news on your results yet? How's the gluten free living going? (:

I was gonna say I don't think you sound like a mess either! I'm just sorry to hear you've even through so much. I too suffer with anxiety, but unluckily not just in the doctors office . Please do keep us updated with how the diet is going! And of course when you receive your results. All the best

Ah well in waiting for your result too as we share done symptoms. I'm glad all went well though! Can I ask why your follow up is so far off? Does it take a month to check the biopsies? I thought it was about a week?

Hope you're feeling better gluten free now too! Can't wait to try it myself once my referral is over! Lol

 so I had to lookup your topic thread  but when putting it into Google images...I have that right now on my right eye on the upper lid!  They will come and go, and the only way I realize they've returned is my contacts start to hurt.  I can only see them when I stand really close to the mirror, and then I try and pop them with my fingernail.  I only get them on my top eyelid.  Here I thought they were just pimples all this time!  learning something new every day 

 

UC Celiac Center lists them on their symptoms list http://www.curecelia...SymptomList.pdf

 

Gosh that is one long list!! That's exactly where I've had it both times too, and yeah it is really tiny! I popped it last time, but think I might keep it until I get to see a doc. I dunno if mine is related to celiac as I'm yet undiagnosed, but find it a bit odd that it came up the day after I ate a gluten filled meal lol . I only notice a small scratching sensation when I squeeze my eyes shut hard haha. Can I ask, have you been diagnosed?

 

I had anterior blepharitis (before DX) and it has not recurred in the 2 years of being gluten-free.

 

Since "itises" mean inflammation,  (and I had/have a bunch of "itises", )  I am never surprised when someone reports inflammation anywhere in the body from gluten/celiac.

 

Ah thanks. & for the little knowledge nugget. Didn't know the 'itises' meant inflammation

Ah thanks to the both of you I do have another question, say I'm not iga deficient, is it not possible to get a false negative? I've been reading about the biopsy "being the gold standard for testing," so I was just wondering whether this is something I should enquire with the doc about getting?
