  1. THanks so much for responding. We have a meeting with the dr tomorrow to go over the results and figure out a "course of action" according to the nurse. I've been upset with the thought of something being wrong with my child but it's conforting to know that it might not be as bad as I originally thought.
  2. I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this or not but I need some information before I meet with our pediatrician in 2 days. My youngest child just turned 5 and had her yearly physical. The dr was concerned b/c she totally fell off of her growth curve. She's very small to being with but my husband and I and our other 3 children are also small...
  3. Keri - Yes, they checked my thyroid several times over the past few years b/c my mother has thyroid problems. It's always been in the normal range. I didn't realize until I started checking that almost all of my symptoms could be related to anemia, even the nausea. I'm sure some of it might be from the anemia but I know there's something else, which could...
  4. Thank you so much for such a clear cut answer. That's the one thing I was trying to figure out and you said it perfectly. I am scheduled to see my doctor in a few weeks for a follow up and I at least want to know what to ask. Thanks again.
  5. Thanks. I was diagnosed with anemia after a few years of feeling exhausted, headaches, shakiness, shortness of breath & heart palpitations (sometimes), and I'm very cold all the time. On top of that I've dealt with nausea, stomachaches, gas & bloating. My symptoms started 3 1/2 years ago and since I'm a 38 year old mom with 4 kids, the dr...
  6. Thanks for the informantion. I had a negative blood test and a negative biopsy, however I"m still having problems even after a few weeks of my 5th acid medicine. I noticed a few years ago when my DH was on the South Beach Diet (I wasn't on it but since I was cooking & preparing the food, I ate that way too) that my stomach felt great. We weren't...
  7. I'm n ot sure yet if this is my problem or not and I want to give the acid medicine a little more time to work before I start changing my diet 100%. However, I did buy a few gluten free items, like spaghetti to try them out (taste wise). Can anyone tell me if reducing the amount of gluten but not going TOTALLY gluten free will make any difference? Also...
  8. Thanks so much for responding. Digestive issues can be a very frustrating thing and it's nice to have other people to talk to about this. My only blood test for Celiac's was done (1-16-09) and it says: IGA, serum 212 Gliadin AB (IGA) >3 Tissue Transgluta,minase AB IGA >3 I have NO idea what that means but the dr told me they were normal...
  9. I have had digestive issues for a few years and my dr's have tried different things. None of them considered Celiac's until I asked about it. They did the traditional blood test, which was negative. They also took a few biopsies during an upper endoscopy a few weeks ago that came back negative as well. I mentioned to my doctor that when I'm feeling bad...
