I went to my doctor today.  It was a follow up to recheck a CBC, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia last summer (hemoglobin 10.4 and ferritin 4).  When I made the appointment I said that I'd like to talk about some GI symptoms I've had.  We talked about my symptoms, my autoimmune hepatitis and my iron deficiency anemia and she said she would run the entire celiac panel today and refer me to a GI doc for an EGD with biopsies no matter what the results of the panel.  My last EGD was 13 years ago, I have a hiatal hernia with reflux, she thinks my GI tract needs to be looked at because if it isn't celiac something funky is still going on.

It's crazy to feel lucky because I have a good doctor, but I do.  She said the celiac results may take longer than the CBC so if I haven't heard back by Monday to give her a call.  We'll see what happens, I try not to think about things, but I can't help it.

      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.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
