ARCHIVED Gi Doc Wants An Endoscopy
Laurelf posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had an upper gi a week or so ago and they found scarring in my esophagus. The dr said it was from acid reflux and left it at that. I just got a call today and the radiologist suggests that I have an endoscopy to make sure reflux is the cause of the scarring.

I am so sad. It looks like my bloodwork is negative. I was so hopeful that I found a solution since going g.f has made me feel so much better. Here are the results of my bloodtests.

I did the iodine test last night. Shortly after I put the bandaid on, the skin next to the bandaid got goosebumps and became very itchy and looked like the rest of my rash. When i took the bandaid off this morning, all that was under the bandaid was a yellowish spot - no blisters. I have been g.f. for a week now and the other rash I had is getting better...

I have had an itchy rash on my legs, elbow, and buttocks for a long time now. They look like little red dots that I scratch until they bleed, then they scab and itch some more. One dr thought it was scabies, but my dermatologist thinks it's eczema with really dry skin. Another dr said it looked like an autoimmune thing. The derm said she couldn't do a biopsy...

The past month or so, in addition to bad rosacea on myt face, I developed a very itchy rash on my legs, elbow and...
