Just got a call this morning that the hospital had a cancellation for this Friday, 7am for my colonoscopy/endoscope. So I have today and tomorrow for a last hoorah on gluten. I can't believe how much I am looking forward to being off of gluten since I haven't except for a few days here and there. I am really hoping for a final conclusion to this mystery that I have been dealing with for too long already. So, wish me luck!  

That is great news!! I went for my pre-op for my colonoscopy and he suggested the endoscopy before I had to even begin to argue with him about it. Was nice to feel like someone is listening!! Hope your results give you all the answers you need!!  

Hi there, I just got my blood test results back and it looks like they only tested me on one of the suggested 4 tests that they could do. This is what I got:

t Transglutaminase Ab Iga: 2    Range 0-20

They had done a few others like B12 which was 298 (Range >180) and Ferritin 40 (Range 20-200).

The doctor did conclude that he has never gotten a postive result from this test and said to me "If it walks like a duck, its a duck". I am scheduled for a colonoscopy on another issue and was wondering if I should push for a endoscopy too to rule either way on the celiac diagnosis??

Thanks in advance for your insights!!
