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.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
