    Heyo. I've been looking around these forums for the past few weeks, and have made a few posts. Well, today, after a negative celiac panel and a slight positive Crohns test (ASCA IGG antibodies) I had my endo/colonoscopy.

    Ok I've got a dilemma. I could get into the general surgeon on thursday, here in town, or wait till next Tuesday and get into the GI in the city about an hour away. What would you guys recommend?

    Alright, so here's my story. My name is Kyle, I'm 24, 5'3", shortest guy in my family by about 5" and I think I may have celiac disease/gluten sensitivity. (Not real sure of the difference) Anywho, here's what's up.(This may get a bit nasty, I do apologise) I have had these bouts with heart palpitations for years now, more recently, last couple of years...
