    I don't think it has hit me yet. When I go to have bread and go oh wait.. can't have that it'll hit me. I hope they do a biopsy but it probably won't be positive so I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm not sure why I can't see someone else but I'll have to talk to the GI office when they call me to make an appointment.

    IH- Good news. Positive for DGP IgA, the newest test that they do. But they referred me to Dr. Boyer, not Gusten cause I have seen Boyer before. Hopefully I can switch to Dr. Gusten because he seems like he knows more than Dr. Boyer does.

    So I got some good news and some bad news. Test results: DGP IgG-Neg <.4 Eu/ml DGP IgA Pos 8.6 EU/ml TTG IgA-Neg 1.1 U/ml EMA IgA- Negative total: 329 mg/dl So I'm positive for the new test which I was hoping for mostly so I can convince myself to actually do the Gluten Free diet. Hopefully going to the GI soon but I have to...

    Happy Birthday! (noticed it listed on the forum home page! :) Cheers, IH

    Thanks you so much IH for your response. I actually went there and saw another doctor that was not helpful at all. Gave me the BS diagnosis of IBS. Hopefully I can get a referal to go there once I get diagnosed. I had my blood drawn for the celiac panel. Crossing my fingers that I'm not in the 20-30 percent false negative group

    I had the stomach virus two days before I had my gallbladder removed and a week after. I normally don't get it so I was wondering why I got it twice in about two weeks. I had my gallbladder removed due to pain in my side constantly and having tons of GI problems that the GI told me was due to IBS. I kept pressuring them to do a hida test cause there were...

    Reading this makes me feel like I'm reading a list of my own symptoms plus I might have hypothyroidism( minus the pregnancy ones as I have never been pregnant, I'm only 23 ) I too had my gallbladder out and had more problems after than I did before. Others have told me that having undiagnosed celiac or gluten sensitivity could have taken my gallbladder....

    Welcome to the forum! I'm new here too and I am still learning a lot by reading all of the posts on here. A while back( i still haven't gone through testing yet, but will on 1/23) someone told be to go to enterolab and pay for a test through them. I never did but I found the link that sends you to the test that best fits your symptoms. Open Original Shared...

    I'm going to get tested by my PCP in January but I would like to go to a specialist who specializes in Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity. I'm looking for a doctor in the upstate New York area between Albany and Saratoga if possible. I've been to GI's who supposedly specialized in Celiac and I ended up knowing more about Celiac then they did. What a waste of hundreds...

    I'm going back to my primary(a woman). My GI was the worst doctor I have ever been to. The doctor that figured it was my GB is the head doctor of the doctors office I have been going to since I was born. I hope I improve on a gluten free diet. Maybe if I had gone on the diet sooner I'd still have my gallbladder. At least for Christmas, Hanukkah and my birthday...

    I did it but not for very long because of the blood work they did and told me it was my liver that was making me sick. I think I will be trying it once I get tested. I know I should start now but I want a medical answer because I really still feel like doctors don't believe me.

    I started it back in April but they told me it wouldn't be a good idea and did some blood work. That resulted in seeing that my liver enzymes were high and my liver was swollen. They put me on liver medication for months and it made everything worse (that's how I found out about the GB). I should have just stayed with the diet but knowing that it might not...

    I'm back after trying to figure out my name and password on here. I made my password so hard I couldn't even figure it out. Anyway, my GI told me that it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go gluten free because of all of my other health issues including gastritis, elevated liver enzymes from my gallbladder functioning at a rate of a 65 year old(12% ejection...

    I went to the doctor today and all of my tests including the biopsy they did to check for celiac came back negative. I totally expected the negative result. They didn't want to do the celiac panel because the biopsy is more conclusive. I'm going to go gluten free though because I've taken everything out of my diet that they told me and I'm still sick. So...

    Thanks so much for your post. I have been through every test you can imagine. they sent me for the flex sig and egd because they wanted to rule out crohns and ulcerative colitis, which i think is a stretch I believe they did do a biopsy for celiacs when they did the egd. I'm going to get the paperwork and see exactly what it says because even slightly elevated...

    I have been having symptoms of diarrhea for at least a week at a time, really bad cramping, intolerance to most foods, constant pain and it also goes into constipation sometimes. This has been going on for three years. It all started from milk, then spicy foods, then acidic and citrus foods. All giving me diarrhea at least 3 times a week( but at least 5-...
