ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed And Shocked
jesimae replied to jesimae's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
How often are the blood draws supposed to be? I have to go for my first one since I started depakote on the 14th. I had the liver panel etc before I started, but I've been on the depakote for a month. He gave me an order for blood draws every month. That sound about right? -

I plan on giving her tips from my diary should... -

Thank you very much for your reply. Was sort of doubting my diagnosis and thinking it could be Crohn's instead. Maybe that's because I've been diagnosed with things before only to have the doctor change his/her mind. Was also wondering if you have "flares" before diagnosis. Right now I'm asymptomatic and have been for a few weeks without any diet restriction... -

Over the last 6 mos I've lost 40 lbs without trying. I've had nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, black outs, abdominal pain (a horrible burning sensation all the...
