Blood Work Tomorrow

Hello Everyone,

I had an appointment with my doctor today. I told her that I had not started the antibiotics for Lyme Disease because I believe I could have Celiac Disease. I told her my symptoms (again) and how they are also symptoms of Celiac Disease. I told her that I had taken the home celiac test and received a very faint positive result. She was not familiar with this test so I showed her the "Dear Doctor" letter supplied with the test. I don't think she was totally on board but she said testing would not hurt so I have my requisition for blood work for the Celiac Panel. She did not feel the need to retest my vitamin and mineral levels because she said they were "fine". She said very casually "Maybe its cancer." :blink: and added Calcium and LDH to my requisition! Let's hope it is Celiac disease she said. The doctor also mentioned that if the blood work does come back positive, they would only give me the diagnosis of celiac disease with a positive Endoscopy result.

So I am off to get blood tests tomorrow.

Glad you got the lab slip and I hope she ordered the full panel as well as a total IGA.

Your doctor sounds like a real jerk. With a bedside manner like that I would be looking for a new one.

That was my thought when I read it.

:( I think doctors forget they are dealing with real, live people. How insensitive! :angry: Maybe she just didn't like the fact that you might be doing a better job of doctoring yourself than she is...

Good luck with the blood tests. :)

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
