ARCHIVED Sub-clinical Celiac Vs Celiac - Huh?
LauraD replied to LauraD's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I got tested because I had severe anemia. The anemia has gotten much better now that I'm taking 1000 mg of iron. It is now normal but before that all happened, my pcp sent me to my GI doc to be scoped and that's when the biopsy came back. -
ARCHIVED Sub-clinical Celiac Vs Celiac - Huh?
LauraD posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I saw my GI doc and he ordered the blood tests which haven't come back. The lab couldn't find them!! So probably will have to do again. Anyways, at this point because the biopsy came back "suggested of gluten-sensitivity enteropathy" the doc says I have sub-clinical celiac. Basically he said it means I don't have all 5 markers for Celiac - just the one... -

Anybody have a list or a place I can find the typical bloodwork that is done to detect... -

ARCHIVED Anemia,then Scoped,path Report - Need Help
LauraD replied to LauraD's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
In terms of symptoms, that's the weird thing - I don't feel like I've really had any but maybe each time I thought I had a stomach bug it was actually a reaction to gluten? I do get headaches quite a bit and I always seem to have diarrhea right before my period starts. I've been attributing most of my odd feelings to being 41 now and thought that maybe... -
ARCHIVED Anemia,then Scoped,path Report - Need Help
LauraD posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, 3 months ago I was dx'd with severe anemia. Put on iron supplements. Saw my GI doc and scheduled an EGD and colonoscopy to see if my anemia had any GI connection (personally I thought my anemia was menstrual related). Anyways, got a call from GI nurse and they said I needed a follow-up. She couldn't translate the path report and I can't see doc until...
