Seeing The Doc On Wednesday

[kthollar]

Another newbie here...I've been having evil stomachaches and other more gruesome GI symptoms for nearly two months, and as more and more possible diagnoses are crossed off the list, it's looking like CS or at least a gluten intolerance are likely.

Two weeks ago, they did bloodwork for CS, and I seem to be kinda "borderline," especiallly since the bloodwork was done right after a colonoscopy (so I had been fasting for more than 36 hours, no gluten at all in my system -- everything I read said to have gluten in your body for the tests).

Gliadin IGA - 17.8 (someone on this forum said 18 was the magic number, I think...)

Gliadin IGG - 16.3

Any insight on these results? Also, my liver enzymes were elevated, which didn't concern my doc at all but I read online that those can be a symptom of CS.

Am tempted to get the Enterolab test too, but I'll probably wait until after my doctor's appointment on Wednesday. Their most recent hypothesis (after eliminating Crohn's and colitis) was an intestinal parasite, and I had to do a 10-day regimen of antibiotics that did absolutely nothing.

As much as I'm not exactly eager to go gluten-free, I've noticed that most of my digestive drama comes after ingesting a lot of wheat (pasta, Malt-o-Meal...pita chips, my old favorite, KILL ME now). I just want to find out how to be "fixed" and move on!
