I have to agree with you Mushroom. I feel like my GI does not give a rats behind about my health. He told me to "Its probably IBS and to follow up with my primary"..... Uhhm, but I'm still having the same problems as before and she referred me to you because of them........ And I'll bet you'll charge me a boat load of $$ for telling me nothing. Oi'.

Wow. You poor thing! It's just not right to be dismissed by doctors as having "read too many magazine articles" or to just disregard you with out a good reason. I'm so glad you finally have things figured out for both you and you son. I really do feel like this is my problem. Its very hard though with out a Drs support, to sort of be disregarded as having...

Thank you all for your advice, opinions, and kind words!I am cleaning out my house as we speak of gluten and intend to see how I do myself off of gluten. It seems to be the most logical step to take next. Once again, thank you all for everything!

Yes, I am talking about my upper endoscopy with small bowel biopsies. Apparently my GI only took two as well. *scratches head* I thought he would take more, considering. But I don't feel as though he was really at all concerned with helping me to begin with. Hum, whole story? Symptoms and all? Here is a link to my very first post, it lists my symptoms...

My GI just gave me a ring and said that the pathology results came back as normal, not indicative of Celiac Sprue, but that my "issue" is most likely IBS. I don't know if this should make me happy, or if I should be more frustrated.... Part of me says "Good! You don't have an autoimmune disease! That's good Jess!".... But the other half of me wants to...

Thank you Bubba's Mom! That's good advice and I appreciate it!

My appointment with the GI specialist is finally here. I've waited 6 weeks and Tuesday is the day. I don't expect to walk in to the office and get all my questions answered, but I will be that much closer. I'm very anxious though. I really feel like I'm going crazy. So many bizar things have been happening to my body, even since I've been in to see my primary...

Thank you for the responses ladies. Each day I get more and more frustrated. I feel crazy somedays. My brain fog is getting so bad, I have a hard time getting through the day. I have to keep telling myself that I am much more fortunate than others who have had to suffer like this for years, and sometimes decades. I almost feel selfish for getting so frustrated...

I just spoke with my PCP about the results of my ultrasound. She said that there is a 4cm cyst on my right ovary and another smaller one on my left. My question is has anyone ever had ovarian cysts or heard of them being related to Celiacs? My GI problems are still continuing, and getting worse. Or are they not related and I am just insane? Thank you in advance...

Skylark, I checked my IgA personally and it came back normal. 160 mg/dl with a reference range of 70.0-400.00 mg/dl. Can you explain to me why an IgG level would come back as high/positive with a completely normal IgA? Now I'm very confused and not sure what should be done.When I went in finally I just thought I was going to be told I had IBS or something...

This forum was so helpful and full of good ideas to help prevent cross contamination! Thank you all responders ans OP for posting the question.

I know my post will seem a little more than redundant but every case is different and everyone on these boards seem so knowledgable I can't help but ask for everyone's opinions. A little bit of history. 27 year old female, student and fulltime laboratory technition. I have a 21 month old son (who is the gem of my life!) I have always been a very healthy...
