I have the biopsies on...

Thank you for your kind words... They were very much appreciated... Well I phoned the medical center that I use to visit, and just asked for an appointment with any doctor... I was given a lovely indian woman. and she listened to me... Then went sort of mad at me... she said why have you let this go on so long... I said well the last time I complained...

I have been gluten free now for approx a year, After a new doctor discovered my gluten intolerance. The diet helped me so much, it helped with my rashes, anixety and depression, migrains, and most of stomach pains, and a hored of other minor aliments. So I have been so gratefull for some respite. The thing is, I am concerned about somethings that...

I got a real indication last week at how bad I must look... I was at work, I work at a cinema, and I served a lady, I had never seen or known her and she said to me.... Are you alright?..... I smiled at her and said "yeah I'm alright" she then again said.... Are your sure your okay?... I laughed and said "yeah I'm fine " She then said "Health wise, I...

A friend in the US sent me the transcript of the Larry King interview... I hope I am allowed to post it here? I am thrilled she is bringing awareness of celiac...But I do hope that she makes it loud and clear that it isn't a lifestyle choice. From what I read in this interview she really did seem to try her best to tell the importance and the sicknesses...

I have to make mention here, of my doctor... I feel lucky and blessed to have found them, and who knows?... maybe I was pointed towards them for good reason? All my life I presented symptoms of celiac, I never knew anything about it, but I would present to my GP with all the symptoms, they would do a blood test and say, yeah some strange results and...

Many here also have problems with soy and dairy and even Tapioca, especially in the begining of going gluten-free I was also lead to believe that you can drink coke, but can't drink Pepsi, due to ingredients I know Prawn Crackers has tapioca flour,Skittles has soy , then the ice cream which has milk in it. As for the burgers, I personnally know I...

I worked out one of the results A high TSH result often means an underactive thyroid gland that is not responding adequately to the stimulation of TSH due to some type of acute or chronic thyroid dysfunction. Rarely, a high TSH result can indicate a problem with the pituitary gland, such as a tumor producing unregulated levels of TSH. A high TSH value can...

I really don't understand much about blood tests and what they mean to your actual health.. I have some very weird results....if anyone can help me understand them and what they mean , I would appreciate it... MCV 99.3 range (80-100) MCH 32.05 range (27.00- 32.00) lymphocites 4.01 range (1.0-4.0) TIBC calc 46 range (46-77) my iron should be...

This is so strange that many have it....I have had it all my life... I also have a thing called spina bifida oculta, where one of the bottom vertibra didn't form properly it doesn't effect me in anyway...but it never ceases to amaze me how so many ailments celiacs share..

Thanks Mushroom..............Well apparently the doctor mustn't want me to have the blood tests... because they still haven't emailed them too me... Under the privacy rights, I am allowed to have a copy of the report, A solicitor friend of mine, who actually defends doctors, told me that am in my rights, I may have to pay for a photo copy of the report...

I am wondering if any other aussies have the same problem as me?...... And that is getting your blood tests results?............... My doctor did do a very comprehensive blood test on me, checking everything.... He told me they found that my thyroid is not functioning , that my blood was high in copper, but the levels of zinc were very very low...that...

Its a shame noone has answered this as yet....................because I too am going to see my doctor, and wanted some good question to ask, so I would leave more informed... But I guess it's hard to answer this post due to everyone having different ailments, and what is a suitable question for one person may not be suitable for someone else?

hmmmmmmmmmmm I am thinking it is something in this part of the day... Smelled hot gluten, but moved right away. 3 minutes of exposure. Grocery store. Booked it through the bakery. Lady cooking something in the meat department. Smelled good. Felt sick. avoided the smell. Held breath through flour aisle. Yawned and yawned. Especially feeling sick and then...

Rachell, do you not feel pain after eating gluten?...........don't you get a foggy head?.. or headaches? or stomach pains?... or bad gastric? Cause I can assure you, if you keep on eating gluten, you will regret it, you will end up with all the above and maybe worst... You don't want to put yourself through that do you?.........having to go through pain...
