Good News, I Got An Earlier Appt

I was going to have to wait till Oct to see the Gastro. (remember I think I may have found a really good one that listens to her patients). There was an opening Sept 7 so I took it. (leave 8th for colorado). Today they called and they had an opening this friday!! I may get my testing in before I leave for Colorado.

I had another attack. I ordered the exact same *gluten-free* items from the same place and got the same reaction.... corn tortillas. Looking back, the only corn products I eat is corn or a few fritos which is fine but these two times I ate quite a bit of corn tortilla. hmmmm

Anyway, this is good news. Plus I hadn't had dental care in 20 years and I only have minimal work to be done (after they got all the deep root cleaning done* OUCH.) the stinky part is they have to drill out old fillings. boooo Cracks in them.

So, after not having scopes for 22 years and living with the same blanket IBS diagnosis...for that long.... Looks like I might get some real answers. I am hopeful. What I really want to know more than anything is how much damage has been done so I know how strict I need to be and with what ingredients. Todays episode was in public. How miserable.

Well I was excited :) I surely didn't want to wait so long to see her. I hope she is as good as she is made out to be.

Don't you love it when people cancel appointments? Good luck.

Esp for this one. I was also warned the office wait is very long even when you DO get in. She spends a good amt of time with each patient. Since that is the case, I really don't mind. I know when it's my turn I will get the same treatment.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
