    Dear Lisa, I decided not to get another appointment on Tuesday, but rather to write down my continuing concerns and mail them to him. That way we don't waste time getting all my stuff out first, he'll have time to evaluate what I am saying and I think I express myself better on paper, anyway. Unfortunately I still forgot to put the paper with the results...

    Lisa: I do have my blood test back now. All were very low negative, 2, 6 and 9. These evaluations were done at Mayos on blood samples taken at local lab. according to Mayos instructions. My dr. thinks that Mayos will not even consider doing a biopsy on me with such low numbers, however, I am in process of writing Mayos to be sure . Also to bring them up...

    I just got back my celiac blood tests from Mayos this week. Forgot to put the paper back in my purse. But they were all very low ranging from 2 to 9 of the "normal" readings. My doctor doesn't think Mayos will be willing to do the biopsy after such low reading. I told him I intend to go on the celiac diet anyway. He suggested a dietician. I had that appointment...

I found out about celiac on th ivillage message boards and promptly asked my local doctor to recomment testing for me. He was convinced I should have this testing done at Mayos. I resisted at first. I said, "They just look at me and start...

    Dear Lisa, Yes, your information is a help. However, I guess I really want to know why my bile continues to be thick or have stones. The enlarging of the muscle sounds like what was done to the lady I mentioned above and she has had to return and have the procedure done several more times first after a year and then after 6 months. I have a hard time getting...

    I had my gallbladder removed last February. Was told that in 6 months or so my digestive problems should be much improved. It is now nearly 5 months and my problems have not improved a bit. If anything they are worse. An ultrasound showed an enlarged gallbladder filled with thick bile. At the time it didn't occur to me to ask what might be causing the...

    Hi! I'm brand-new today to the board. I can relate to so many of the things I have just read! My first remembered experience with digestive problems was a vomiting siege I had as a 4-5 year old. It was severed enough so that I was taken to the hospital. Throughout childhood I was given enemas with soapsuds for constipation every once in awhile. My parents...
