I made an appointment witha dr that was mentioned on this board. I have had such a long history of bouncing around from dr to dr who just gave me the run around and didn't help. I had the gluten blood test, but have not yet had the biopsy. I'm not so sure I want it anyway. In a nutshell I've been gluten free since August and would have to start eating gluten again. AND I have a horrible phobia and just the idea of getting an IV for the biopsy makes me feel dizzy (I turn into a 3 year old child.. cry and then pass out whenever I get blood drawn). To avoid drawing out the process longer than need be and being sick longer than need be, can someone make any suggestions on how to prepare for my visit to the dr? I know I can't have gluten and I have also cut out dairy and I am feeling much better. I do feel like I may have more allergies. Can a GI test for allergies or do I need to go to an allergist? Also, I overheard someone talking about getting dizzy from celiacs. I keep getting dizzy spells. I don't know if it's related. So any advice? Thanks in advance!

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Had my MRI today I didn't have to have the manitol with my allergy's , I just had a litre of water , they were great with my concerns , so let's see if anything comes of if will keep posted once I have results 👍

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
