What To Expect From The Doc

[RVluvin]

Hello all, glad to be a member. Biopsie confimed it 3 days ago, and I've been staying clear of gluten the best I can for a 1 1/2 weeks now, and doing very well considering I have been living with this problem for many years. The digestive specialest receptionist call me to confirm, Doc recomend I start a gluted free diet, plenty of info on the internet, and follow up with him in 4-6 weeks to address and concerns or questions I may have. $35 copay + what insurance pays.

Should I expect more?

Generally doctors don't give us much info beyond telling us that we should start a gluten-free diet.

But you've come to the right place! You might want to search through the forum to see if you can find the info you need. And ask whatever questions you may have.

And welcome!

When first Diagnosed GI specialist didn't give much infomation aside from staying away from gluten.Fortunately living in the Boston area I found a GI that specialized in Celiac and he is wonderfull.As other have already mentioned I get my most valued information from this forum.Beside information the support and feeling like you are not alone is good also.Good luck.
