GottaSki, yes I will do. My PCP gives me copies but I'm not sure if it will include the pathologist's report. I'll have to find out where to get it if my PCP doesn't have it. powerofpositivethinking, I was told by the gastroenterologist to eat bread for another 4 to 6 weeks as I was off it for 3 days. I'm not sure about this as I was sore already...

To me, your DGP - IgA test is valid. As others have said before you don't have to be positive on all the tests on the panel. That is lack of knowledge on the doctor's part. Here is some information on the DGP - IgA sensitivity: 82-96% specificacy: 93-96% Open Original Shared Link Disease_long_FINAL.pdf Here is another article about DGP-IgA Open...

Thank you GottaSki and notme! for confirming about the next day cough and throat tickle. I'm not sure why it makes my lungs feel wet and itchy but I seem ok this evening. I dreaded seeing that gastroenterologist as he was very dismissive during the initial pre consult but my PCP had insisted that I see him because he does a seperate pre consult in the...

Thank you greenbeanie, I'm reassured now. Did the nurse say how long it would last. I still felt an itch to cough today. I wish the preop nurse would have told me that beforehand or that I had been told by the procedure nurse. I saw the a bit on the TV but not much as I was in and out of consciousness. Some said in the forum that the upper...

I was expecting the endoscopy to be scary and painful and the colosnoscopy to be a breeze, but it was the reverse. About the endoscopy, after it was done and they started the colonoscopy I had the urge to cough as if I had some droplet in my throat or lungs. Has anyone else had the urge to cough after an upper endoscopy, within minutes and into...

Hello I'm in Ontario, I went to an allergist to go the IgE skin scratch test for food allergies and environmental allergies. That one was covered by the provincial health insurance. I also did the IgG 220 food intolerance panel called Genarrayt through the Gamma Dynacare laboratory. I needed a blood test requisition from my PCP to do this test...

As teen I had the same time pattern. I thought it was anxiety and a gastro-doctor told me it was Lactose intolerance. A high school classmate was diagnosed with Celiac. I wish that gastro doctor I saw as a teen had tested me for Celiac. But now that I'm looking back to understand Celiac, I wonder the same thing: why was it worse in the mornings? ...

LOL You can get your fiber from fruits and vegetables like broccoli. Dates and peanuts have lots of fiber. A past doctor recommended I eat Whole wheat bread to get more fiber and it was after that my health started to fall apart. Right now for my gluten challenge I'm eating white bread because the brown bread makes me ache even more. I...

taynichaf, with your Celiac testing experiences with doctors so far you know they know squat about how write up a Celiac blood test requisition. I looked up my local labs to compare their Celiac panels (3 labs) They were all expensive but one offered more. One lab offered 4 tests as part of their panel. I got the price and the TEST CODE...

I was diagnosed with a fatty liver in 2010. Then I went gluten free for 2 years The subsequent ultrasounds no longer detected fatty liver. I can't prove going gluten free cured my fatty liver but here are some articles that say it does. Open Original Shared Link

That's terrible Marie, I hope you can put that bad experience behind you soon. They should test the patient first to see if they are sedated enough.

Hi greenbeanie, That is so frustrating that the doctor doesn't know about the importance of theTotal IgA blood serum test and that she wouldn't listen to you. How dumb can they get. ? Are you in Canada? My Celiac panel was almost identical except it included the Total IgA. Can you go to a walk in clinic with your test results and ask another...

I hope that by chance you get to meet a new bona-fide gluten free pal
