thanks for the information on the doc from osu. i am seeing another doc right now and have gotten all the tests done. waiting on biopsy reports. i will keep him in mind if they say i am celiac forsure.

i will just have to wait on the biopsy results to find out for sure. this is so weird and i dont understand why if the biopsy results in 2004 were positive and i have continued to eat gluten for 7 years how there can be no damage seen? if the biopsy results are negative, i guess then i am gonna assume i dont have celiac.

i had a endoscope today and the doctor told me that everything looked ok. this is very weird since the endoscope and biopsy in 2004 was postive for celiac. i dont understand this really, i have been eating gluten for 7 years and test was fine? does that mean i am not celiac or do i need to wait on biopsy results for the final answer to find out if i am celiac...

i was told that i could go gluten free in 2004 but my blood work was negative and they wasnt forsure if i had celiac disease or not. my doc was retiring at that time and he acted like he was not to worried about the fact that i may have celiac disease. i should have went to a different gastro at that time but i live in small area and no gastro docs and i...

thankyou everyone for all the information that you have gave me, due to the suggestion that i should go get my medical reports and the fact that i faxed them to my new doc they are scheduling me for endoscope next friday. i am so relieved. finally i may get some answers..

my gastro doc did basic blood tests and the celiac genetic test on me. he did a colonscopy earlier this week and i have a small bowell follow thru next wed. i have faxed my new gastro the results of the 2004 biopsy so that he can read the report. i would like to have another endoscopy done to confirm celiac or possible more blood work. i think he is also...

thanks for telling me to get my reports from 2004. my doc has since died but i found my records from the hospital. i didnt know in 2004 that biopsy was done. it says: biopsy of duodenum showing changes of chronic duodenitis with mild villous atrophy and intrapithelial lymphocytes that suggests celiac disease. i was never given a copy of this record, my doc...

i am going to get my medical records from 2004 today when the doc that did the endoscope told me that i had flat villi and looked like celiac disease. i am going to send them to my new gastro with the hope that he will do another endoscope on me. i understand why he did the colonscopy and has ordered a small bowell follow thru but at the same time i would...

my doctor wants to run a small bowell follow thru. how do i get him to run a endoscopy? should i call them and ask them why they are not running a endo on me? I will not see the doctor again for awhile, he is going to wait till the results from the biopsy of the colonscopy and the small bowell come in.

hello. i am having alot of problems with weight loss, diarrhea, and the list goes on and on. my doc gave me the celiac genetic test ( unsure of name) and it came back positive. he has since ordered a colonscopy which was normal and a small bowell follow up for next week. will the small bowell follow up show the damage in the small intestine? in 2004 i had...

does this sound like celiac or crohns. lost 21 pounds in 1 month, mouth sores, pain in lower right abdomin, sometimes black stool. alternating between constipation and diarrhea. problems with anus, fissure which has healed but continued problems with anus mostly hurting. any ideas? i had celiac tests and other test last friday and i am waiting to find out...

[ I really know how you feel, i am in the same situation also. had blood tests on friday and waiting on results, 2 weeks is along time to wait when you are sick.

can anyone give me some good docs that are familiar with celiac in the columbus ohio area. i am very ill with losing alot of weight and need to find a doc that will take action. thanks.

yes they drew blood tests again on friday for Celiac panel because of the problems i am having with severe weight loss. i do not know why i am losing all this weight, i am eating but sometimes i dont have any interest in food and have alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation. if i go gluten free right now and then they want to do a upper endoscopy would...

I got retested for Celiac on friday, my gastro doc told me that he would call me with the results of the test. I am having so many problems right now and have lost 21 pounds in 1 month and continue to lose weight, i have mouth ulcers and alternating diarrhea and constipation. i am very worried that i am going to lose more weight and my gastro will tell me...
