Trying To Wait Patiently

I got negative results from a partial celiac panel last week, though total IgA wasn't included so I don't know how much to trust the results. Anyhow, I hadn't realized that my doctor also ordered the celiac genetic tests from Prometheus Labs. I only found out because I received a letter from Prometheus about insurance billing. The letter said that the results had been sent to my doctor a full week ago. But I haven't heard anything yet, and this is very unusual because my doctor usually posts lab results online immediately. I contacted her office on Monday to request the results, and I was told that I'd hear back from someone within two business days. But I still haven't heard anything, and I'm going crazy with all the waiting.

 

I know the genetic tests alone are not definitive either way, but I just want all the data I can get right now. The report has been sitting at my doctor's office for a week, and I don't understand why no one will give me the results. It's not like she's waiting for my next appointment - I'm not even scheduled to see her again. 

 

Should I just keep waiting? For how long? Or risk annoying the doctor by inquiring again? I am so, so glad that she ordered the genetic tests (especially since my daughter is also in the process of getting tested, so my genes will surely be of interest to her doctors too). But I've been waiting for decades to figure out what's wrong, and the thought of a relevant piece of info just sitting there on her desk when no one will tell me the results is driving me crazy. I know I have a legal right to my own test results, but marching in and asserting that right seems more likely to alienate the office staff than to help...

Call again. You know they have the results. Get them to send a copy of the genetic tests and the other tests, if you don't have them. They may be able to email them if the records are eletronic.

Your not annoying the doctor. They may have missed the results or thought they had already called you.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
