Finally Some Good News!

I'm still having testing done on my heart and I go back to the cardiologist on Wed for an echocardiogram and holter montior. BUT, today I saw my pulmonary Dr. and my ashtma is completely 100% better! She took me off the steroid inhaler because I already have osteopenia and because it could be contributing to the arrythmyia of the heart. My chest Xray was completely normal (chest xray in 2012 showed acute adult onset ashtma with hyperinflated lungs and flattened diaphram). She, like my GP and GI dr's, agree that gluten was the trigger to my moderate persistent asthma.

 

So at least I'm seeing healing in some areas! Now to figure out my heart

Congrats! That's great news!

I have asthma, too. It would be terrific to see it improve as time goes on.

I hope you get the heart stuff sorted out soon. That's got to be scary stuff.

Congrats!  That's great!

 

My oldest son's mild asthma completely cleared up over the last year of being gluten-free too... Wheat is just evil.

Huge weight! I was admitted in July for a severe attack and have been on numerous rounds of prednisone and had shots of prednisone. It was very hard to control.....we now know why. I never want to see prednisone again! I hope I never do
