Hi, I’m after some advice so obviously this is the best place 

I got my official diagnosis around a month ago, since then I have (I think) been gluten free completely, I feel amazing right now 😊 and I had no obvious symptoms in the first place but I must of without knowing.

Anyway my doctors referred me back to the specialist clinic, I have my appointment tomorrow and at a loss as to what questions I should be asking, I’m not sure what the consultant will say other than dont eat gluten, any advice or ideas as feel this is a real opportunity to talk to a specialist 

thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be amazing, thanks

Here are some ideas:

When should I have follow up celiac blood tests.

Should I be tested for nutrient deficiencies.

Should I have a bone density test.

How long might it take for my gut to heal enough to take care of my anemia.

Thank you for replying, I’m currently waiting for my bone scan and dietitian appointment, they are in a couple of weeks.

Everything was increased on my biopsy results, I would like my marsh scale confirmed and a full nutrient test as well. I’ll ask about those, I suppose they will just go over the damage i have and give me a stern talking to about not eating gluten and being careful in the future.

thanks again

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
