Mom just called me to say she checked the mail,and there was a letter from one of the Hospitals in Saskatoon saying that I have an appointment (consultation) with the specialist there on November 2nd :o:blink: ....thats only 13 days away.

BUT thats like a 8 month wait haha--which is pretty sad when you say its "urgent", to wait 8 months, dont you think? Well its better than nothing...

Oh i'm nervous yet excited at the same time...finally someone new to talk to who I've never seen before in my life!!!!

I'm gonna call my Aunty maybe tomorrow, still talk to her and... yay like I need to see my hmm..6th doctor of the year? lol

Glad to hear it. It sounds like your Mom is becoming a bit more supportive, too. Will she be driving you?

(I can't remember if you are in school in Yorkton or Regina.)

I'm in school in Yorkton this year...and yeah she said she'll be driving me. On friday I talked to the head guy at the college and he said its no problem..and said just keep pushing the teachers to tell me what I'll be missing or at least say what I missed during class when I'm in the bathroom--you'd be surprised how much you could fall behind in 15 mins!! Umm he also said to ask a couple of my classmates to keep me updated on things, too or help me out if I am having issues understanding something I missed. And i got a copy of the letter to give to the college. I've already missed more than allowed classes, but since its for medical reasons they obviously haven't kicked me out of classes. :P

Mom says it depends on the weather..if its supposed to snow, we'll go the day before (obviously safer that way). Again, the college seems ok with it so far..

11 days--I'm getting more nervous!!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
