what do I want to see on the blood tests?
If you have celiac disease, than you would want them to be positive, so that your intestines can heal and so that you can start feeling better on the gluten free diet. The gluten free diet is hard at first, but it gets easier with time. I actually enjoy eating gluten free now and I find that I am very healthy and I'm feeling so much better than I was. Let us know how the tests go.

You are right Vydorscope! I thought I was doing well to be this far along getting tested and I presented only with Anemia in March of this year. Didn't get told to see the GI until Sept. but on second trip there (to disuss test results) he mentioned I MAY have celiac disease. Just found out about someone in Chat. who took 13 years for her dx. I think insurance companies are completely ruining our health care system and in a few years we'll be trying to go overseas for serious help instead of the other way around. I'm sure many will disagree with me but we'll just have to agree to disagree.

The gluten-free diet is hard to get started on. And is typically more expensive when you first start. How ever with time you get used to it, and with time you learn cost cutting ideas such as buying the gluten-free you like in bluk, finding offbrands of mainstream products taht are gluten-free. For exmpale we buy alot of fodd that happens to be gluten-free, thats Kroger brand (store brand). It will just take a little work to get there. And lots fo phone calls to companies, and lots of reading posts here. Once your used it, it becomes second nature and you just do it.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues.

Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
