Ahhh. Doctor's Appt This Coming Monday

...to discuss blood test results. it's been 2 weeks since I had all those vials of blood taken and they haven't called so I *hoooopppppe* that means there isn't anything alarming. I find myself getting nervous as Monday gets closer. Will a gluten intolerance/celiac be detected? I don't know...in any event, I'm just ready to get on the journey to feeling better. I just hope they did all the tests I requested and that the doctor said would be done during the first visit. I should've asked during my last appt to make sure, but I had trouble thinking of too much.

Ill come back with results for help with interpretation...but I have a feeling this doctor (hematologist) might actually know his stuff. Guess we'll have to see. Ill post results here whether he seems knowledgeable or not lol.

((Deep breath iiiiiinnnn and ouuuuuuuuuut))

Good luck!

Request copies of all blood tests and keep a file on your test results. My PCP suggested this two years ago. (I didn't listen, but I should have.)

Thanks so much. They've been giving me copies of my bloodwork info so far without me having to slay anything...so hopefully they'll continue to do so. Ill ask if they don't, though.

Umm...yep that will make it easier. :D

Just wanted to add..if they tell you you're negative for Celiac, you may still want to try a strict gluten-free diet for a bit? Some of us test negative, when we do in fact, have Celiac. Let your body be your guide..and good luck!

That was my intention, actually. I'm going to try out a completely gluten free diet for a while and see how it works over time. Gluten free shopping shall commence later this week. Ill stick with mostly whole foods and keep the processed gluten free stuff to a minimum (though, I'm sure ill pick up a few things). I'm definitely listening to my body more.

Gotta admit I imagined a Records Room w/ 8ft mini-dragons guarding the hallway parting for your passage. :o

Hahahaha. no dragon can keep me from my records! Pfft especially not puny mini ones. But yeah, they've been really good about providing me with results from any tests they do, so that's been helpful. Tomorrow's the day! I'm really nervous, yet...I can't freakin wait!

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
