Lanigan's Gi Appt.

So, yesterday was our appointment with the Ped. GI doc. He seems very competent, knowledgable. Lanigan is in the 1st percentile. So far, his doc has said very little, but we are having a biopsy and both an upper and lower GI done on Friday. Mommy is scared. I am so afraid of them putting my little one under anesthesia. He is going to run the majority of the labs then as well, drawing the blood while he is already asleep. The only numbers I have seen so far are the results from the finger pokes to determine whether he was anemic and what his sugars were. He is anemic(big suprise) but he said he'd rerun that test with actually lab draw as it is more accurate. His sugars were also really high(279!!) so we are going to be watching those further. He didn't want to discuss what he thought "could be or couldn't be" till after the results cause he didn't want me to worry about something it isn't. And since he wouldn't have me do anything differently til after we have results anyway. We did talk about trying to start my milk flow back up, or being put on a prescription formula... ? Anyway, I guess, and hope that I will know more Friday. Oh, but he did write orders for me to be tested for celiac again...

That's great news that they are getting him in so soon and that they are going to test you again. Keep us posted. Everything will be fine, but I'd be nervous too. :P

It sounds like you are on the right track and please don't worry about having him put under. My oldest son is a Celiac and he was put under 3 times last year while going through the testing and handled it fine. My youngest son was also put under 2 times for ear tubes and adnoids and I actually got to go in with him until he was asleep. The first time was very easy because he happened to fall asleep on the way it :P . The second time was easy as well, he was out in seconds. Good luck on Friday.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
