Wish us luck. Me more than Emmah LOL.

I'm the one going to tell him no way is she going back on gluten for a biopsy. I normally have a big mouth and I sure don't scare easy, this is silly, I'm acting like a scared little girl.

The big bad dr's going to get anyry with me.

Keep us in your thoughts and on top of that luck hope for a DX's on diet response PLEASE!!

PS Emmah grew enough in the last 3 months gluten-free that she was able to go into swimming lessons because she can touch the bottom...It was funny, she has to hop to keep her mouth out of the water.

She's very excited

Well that went as bad as I thought,worse actually.

I was bawling the whole time after we left that office. She was a huge BI*CH. She wanted to know why emmah was wasting her time if she was better. she also said if the ttg say's she doesn't have celiac's then she doesn't and thats all there is too it. better or not. she said she has a wheat allergy or something like that or an intolerence.

I can't see a different GI because thats all there is where we live. She staying gluten-free so that's all that matters. I see her ped monday because I want to jerk about this woman and get allergy testing done.

How upsetting. I'm really sorry for your experience with that doctor. Some doctors act real stupid :blink: . She doesn't deserve you as a customer. Hope the ped has better news. You're doing great, don't let a stupid doctor intimidate you. Good luck on your future testing.

Hugs, Stef

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today

      Thank you! This is great information and perfect timing because we have our first appointment for a second opinion tomorrow.

      Bright blood in the stool would indicate bleeding down at the lower end in the colorectal area as opposed to the small bowel below the stomach where celiac manifests damage to the villous lining. Are these blood stools persistent? It's not unusual for this to happen once in a while to most anyone when a small surface vessel breaks, kind of like a nose bleed. As Scott Adams said, you must continue to consume regular amounts of gluten if the specialist will be doing additional testing for celiac disease, which could include an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining.

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻
