Help Me Get Records

HI!

I requested the baby's records from the Ped Gi. WHat came was his computer notes - History of patient, discussion of sypmtoms, exam , assesment, and plan of action and procedures with a listing of the of places he scoped that says this

Findings in esophagus (enodscopic: NOrmal endoscopic appearance of entire stomach

(list several more things like that)

THen it has Biopsies taken and another listing of things that go

histology of esophageal biopsies:normal

Histology of antra biopsies : normal

And so on.

No where in these records do they have the actual report sent from the lab to them that they based their normal findings on. I know they should have because I have several reports in my medical file that is straight from the pathologist and list what all was performed, how they prepared the slides, what stainig was used, and so on. Do I need to request something different from the dr or do I need to request reports from somewhere different? I thought the pathology report would be included in the dr records but it is just their computer notes.

THanks

Stacie

Hi. I would go back to your doctor and ask specifically for those things you know are missing. They should be a part of the record, and you have every legal right to have a copy of those. If there is some reason that the doc. does not have those or is unwilling to give them to you , then he needs to tell you where to get them from. A simple phone call should be enough. Hope that helps

Well I made the phone call again to the office (we're not on the best of terms after he told me to put the baby back on wheat and forget about this gluten stuff since the biopsy ruled out Celiac - you can only imagine my response) and the records lady said OOOPS She just forgot to put all the surgical path results in. She would drop them in the mail to me. So we shall see what I get this time.

THANKS!

Stacie

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
