Yikes! That sounds cold! :o

I've come across a lot of professors who just aren't understanding about students needing time off, no matter how valid the reason. It's just a class though. You're right that your health is more important. Hope you feel better soon!

Yeah exactly, its not like I'm just skipping and making 30 hour bus trips for the fun of it! :angry: Whichever doc I see next, Calgary or S'toon, i'll be sure to tell them about this situation now and see what they suggest. Maybe they've had other college/uni. students deal with the same things...I'm sure both specialists have had a lot of patients before!

I suggest we all go and see the head of your school and flog the tar out of him. Tell him that his causing you stress is not good for your disease and will only make y6ou miss more.

Lisa, make sure that you have notes from the doctor's office detailing everything you are going through, from symptoms to appointments to procedures to dietary restrictions, you name it, and make sure that the head guy has a copy (you keep a copy, too). That way, they can't legally (I think) give you any trouble.

Thats actually a good idea...instead of just giving the school a copy of my appointment, maybe i'll get both docs to give a note/letter to the school too, so they know i'm not making it up about how serious/urgent it is

Maybe you should call the doctors' offices and ask them to mail letters to you (so you know what they say, and so you can make some copies for yourself) to give to your school.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
