If this is in the wrong place I am sorry, please move. How do you all go about getting your daily intake of fibre, I have been eating a lot of fruits, but my stool is still very soft, almost diarhea. Thanks.

Awesome!!, thank you very much

ok, I assume getting an endoscopy at the same time as an upper GI would be my best bet. I live in Canada, and therefore don't pay for medical visits, do you think I can tell the doctor what I want done?, all he is sending me for is the upper GI, I will tell him that I want the endoscopy, does he have to listen?

ok, I will print those off and bring them to the Dr.'s with me, I can't thank you enough.

thank you so much...is the upper GI the same as an endoscopy?

thanks...I have the blood tests tomorrow, the Dr. told me that there is not just a specific test to find out if you have Celiac, is this true??? He is sending me for a bunch of bloodwork tomorrow and an upper GI on May 17th, do you think i need to continue eating gluten until may 17th or does that not have anything to do with an upper GI. Thanks again.

So, after 3 days of ALMOST no gluten I decided I want to get tested to find out for sure if that is really what is wrong with me. I understand that one needs to be eating "normally" including gluten for the test to work correctly, so I ate what I would "normally" eat last night, almost imediately I had bad gas and a little while later had diarreah, then...

I will, thank you for being so kind.

thank you, I appreciate it.

Hello, I just joined. I am in the process of cutting out all Gluten, as you all know it is difficult to begin! I have not been diagnosed, but I have had people tell me and have done research, it seems like I have it. I usually eat a sandwich for lunch, after lunch I get extremely bad gas, it hurts to pass it and it smells VERY bad, sorry to be so descriptive...
