    Thanks for your help everyone! I just really wish I had my medical records because now I feel like it's all a mystery, who knows what the doc tested for back then! My husband is right - this is exactly why we need electronic medical records. My appointment with the gastroenterologist is in two weeks. I'll let you all know what he says! I hope I don...

    My husband and I made appointments with a Gastroenterologist, and we're going to ask him to test us. Do you think we should have made an appointment with a PCP instead? We don't have one right now, and with our insurance plan (PPO) we can go to any type of doctor we want without a referral. Will the Gastroenterologist be mad we made a direct appointment...

    I'm positive it was an endoscopy (through my mouth lol). I think they may have been trying to rule out Crohn's disease, though not sure if that would require a colonoscopy too. I've never had a colonoscopy, though my mom has and in fact I think that's what they did to diagnose her IBS. Maybe they did the endoscopy because it was my stomach that hurt all...

    I have a question: If the doctors did an endoscopy 11 years ago and then subsequently diagnosed me with IBS, does that mean they did not see any intestinal damage on the endoscopy, and therefore I cannot have Celiac?

    Thanks everyone, and thanks for the link HappyGirl. I just got back from the dentist and I'm so disappointed to find I have 6 more cavities, including one under a cap and I have to have the cap removed! Granted I hadn't been to the dentist in a year and half, but I had 4 cavities the last time I went. I brush twice a day and floss once (don't worry, moving...

    Aw man! The doctor's office just called and said since my last visit was 11 years ago, they no longer have my medical records in storage! So now I'll never know if they tested me for Celiac, since my mom isn't sure! I guess I'll talk to the new doctor when my husband goes to see if I can schedule an appointment for them to test me too.

    I tried to convince my husband to wait but he refuses to wait and so there's nothing I can do, plus he's started feeling better already and now I'm jealous! But I really want to be diagnosed at least through blood tests before I go gluten free. Part of me hopes my medical records show I was tested and it was negative so I can just start right away on...

    Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with IBS 10 years ago as a teenager, around the same time my mom was diagnosed with IBS. Prior to my diagnosis I went from 106 pounds in 8th grade to 94 pounds freshman year of high school, and had frequent stomach aches that would keep me up all night. It was like a cramping/burning sensation in the upper abdomen just under...
