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!

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Thanks for the resource! I will check it out!

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
