So Frustrated Waiting! Took 4 Weeks For Blood Results Now Waiting To Book Scope.

I'm just so frustrated!! I had to wait 4 weeks to get the TTG results for my son and once I finally got them was told they wanted to re-scope. No kidding, with a TTG of +>222.6 (normal being <20). I was told I'd hear back from the OR booking department at Children's Hospital within a week or two. Today is 3 weeks and I have left 2 messages on their phone with no reply! We live 1600km (yes 1600) from Children's hospital and thus will have to book holiday time to go there for the scope. I was told 3 weeks ago they were booking around the end of May/beginning of June. So by the time we get booked it will likely be July.....nearly 5 months since his super high TTG!! Thankfully for us he has no real symptoms so he's not in any pain. We just want to get on with the plan (the DIET).

It's also been 2 weeks since the rest of us have been tested and still no results.

I hate this. And then if I do call back I'll get some rude nurse who's irritated that I'm calling. They obviously don't have sick kids!

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
