I didn't realize that the lactose test and dairy allergy test were different. I told DD doc. last week that I wanted her to have the dairy allergy test done to see if she was allergic to milk and he did the lactose test instead. This really makes me mad b/c that same day he had another Celiac blood panel done on her to make sure that she was glutened by something that was causing her bloating. They could have stuck DD one time and drawn extra blood for the food allergy test. Now we have to go and get stuck again tomorrow.

BTW, her celiac level is suppose to be a 3 and it's a 4 which shows that she's got a very tiny amt. of gluten from somewhere. That's what the nurse said anyway.

Thanks.

How frustrating! It is so painful and hard to get them to do blood tests to begin with and now have to go back again. Yuck! And your daughter will definitley remember too. How old is your daughter? Kirsten got stuck 4 times yesterday trying to get enough blood for all of her celiac panels and she was not a happy 18 month old. Dr ordered allergy tests too. I hope he wrote down the right ones. I emphathize with you. Hope the next stick goes well the first try. Kendra

We got a rx for a topical lidocane cream. You put it on thick about an hour before the blood draw/shot and it numbs the area. We call it the magic cream!!

Well my DD is 9 almost 10 but she still hates needles. I hate it for her too. Unfortunately we probably won't have time for the cream but I'll remember it for next time. I need cream like that when I get shots. ha ha I haven't had my tetnus in years. I'm way over due I am just too scared of needles.

I believe the allergy test is called a RAST and it covers all the major allergens so hopefully, it was ordered correctly.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Looking for a gluten-free roomie in Denver CO

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
