    It is certainly a great question that I'll be asking the GI doc. I am honestly dumbfounded and very upset that the endoscopy was not done at the same time as the colonoscopy. I get very, very nervous during any type of procedure that requires anesthesia. I know most people don't find it pleasant, but I truly have symptoms similar to a panic attack just...

    This forum is certainly a great source of information. They definitely didn't mention that they cannot test for Celiac through a colonoscopy and that is all I had done- not the endoscopy. In fact, the doctor explicitly said that she was testing for Celiac. This is so frustrating! Now, I'm wondering if she meant the blood test again. I had the blood testing...

    I completely agree with your comments regarding finding a doctor who is interested in helping to find the root cause of symptoms. This whole situation has completely turned me off to my family doctor. I already decided that it's time for me to find someone who is willing to really LISTEN to me and my concerns. I also want to update everyone on my situation...

    Thank you for your feedback. I had a particularly bad day yesterday after eating out at Olive Garden (and I did order off the gluten free menu,so I don't know what the deal is). However, I looked into the GAPS diet and I started today with a modified version using the homemade chicken broth. I'm not following the intro version exactly, because I am adding...

    And- I've thought of some more symptoms that I think may be important. Sorry, but there are a lot! I've had "bladder" problems since my teen years. Frequent bladder infections and then frequent urination, urgency, etc. WITHOUT an actual infection. This was eventually diagnosed as cystitis (or "spastic bladder") and I was on Ditropan for awhile. I eventually...

    I forgot to mention other issues that I have-- extreme PMS, cramping, mood swings, pain, etc. Also, I've had issues with anxiety and panic attacks as well. I'm an athlete and every time I get injured, it takes forever to heal or I have nagging injuries that never fully heal. Of course, I do not know if any of these are related and there is no way of...

    Hello- I want to share my story to see if others have had similar symptoms and experiences. My GI issues began about 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with severe acid reflux. At that time, my only symptom was losing my voice and frequent coughing and throat clearing. After diagnosis and starting acid reflux meds, I started having more of the traditional...
