Newbie Here- Advice Needed


ice cream

Recommended Posts

ice cream Newbie

I was diagnosed with IBS back in April, after suffering for 2 years from terrible bloat, constipation, stomach pain, etc...

I finally went to a gastroenterologist a few weeks ago who tested me for celiac based on my symptoms.

Being that I'm completely gluten free due to my IBS diagnosis (or misdiagnosis lol), my blood results were negative, as expected by the dr. I go back in a week to confirm.

Could it be celiac anyways?

Sure. It could be Celiac. However, you have to eat gluten to make the antibodies that they test for. A negative test, when gluten free, only proves you are eating gluten free. You would need to go back on gluten for testing.

      So there was no physical, plastic card involved, correct?

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.
