    I'm going to call and ask my insurance tomorrow, but it's probably true. Tricare is notorious for being wacky -- yay Army! Hahah. I hate to sound like one of those people who whines about something and then doesn't take the advice offered to them. However, in this case -- I really think he's looking more at my family history as far as order of...

    No, it's definitely my insurance. The receptionist was baffled, but Tricare wants results from the colonoscopy before they'll approve the endoscopy. I know he'll do them at the same time when allowed, because my dad had the double procedure done by the same doctor and his insurance didn't have an issue with it. I remember him joking "now, don't put the wrong...

    Oh, he knows -- he told me that. Chances are, if I feel better I'm not going to have the endoscopy anyway. I won't need it, and I'm not going to cram gluten if it makes me feel crappy. I feel pretty confident he knows what he's doing, because when he explained the endoscopy to me in the office he said he would be taking at least 10 different samples because...

    Well, the reason he wants to do the colonoscopy first is because my dad has ulcerative colitis and he thinks that might be my problem also. He's all about process of elimination, and every doctor I have seen starts with a colonoscopy. As far as the bloodwork - I don't even know if those results are right. It was part of a panel for my cholesterol and...

    Well, the thing is, I've been told our lab doesn't do it that way. Since my IgA was considered "in range" they won't proceed with the other ones because it comes back being all good. My doctor said they look fine. I got the results of my genetics today: HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) -- Negative HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) -- Positive HLA Variants...

    So after ultra drama at my last gastro, I decided to go to my dad's gastro because he's always raving about how awesome he is. I brought with me my previous blood results (IgA serum 146 and tTG IgA AUTOAb 4)and my regular CBC type blood work from my family doctor. He looked through the blood work and told me it wasn't celiac because the test results...

    Thank you for the warm welcome and information! I'm very excited about seeing my new doctor. My dad talked to him on Tuesday (he had an appointment scheduled for his own stuff) and the doc was appalled at the way I was being jerked around by my current doctor. He sent home some helpful handouts for me and said I should call to set up an appointment immediately...

    Hi everyone! I'm new here. I apologize if this ends up being muddled wall-of-text, I just have so much to say! I am a 33 year old female, struck with "tummy troubles" sometime around when I started high school. I managed to get through most days by simply not eating until I was safely home and near my bathroom. My parents took me to a gastro, who...
