I fully understand where you are coming from. When I had my MRI done, my gynecologist had to order it with fibroids even though I was not diagnosed with them at the time. However, this goes beyond protecting the patient to deal with insurance. Where they had the incorrect information recorded was on a document that never got sent to insurance or for any testing...

I agree!!! It seems my GI is clueless too!!!! Mini-rant time. I was able to find another GI who has an opening three days before my classes start but since I’ve seen another GI in the last year, she needs to review all of my medical records and case before she makes a decision to take me as a patient or not. I had to get my records myself to send to t...

Update time: When I called the GI's office about my colonoscopy results on 7/31, the nurse told me they had sent a presciption to my pharmacy. I was out of town but called my dad to see if he could pick it up so my mom and I could google what the medication was on our way home. When my dad got to Walmart they had no record of the prescription what...

Has anyone heard of the medication Entocort or had any experience with it? My GI prescribed it for my "suggestive lymphocytic colitis" and the only bit of information I have been able to gather is it is an anti-inflammatory and an immunosuppressant. I am not sure why I would take an anti-inflammatory when three separate tests showed I had zero inflammation...

Did he ever get mouth sores? After four days of adding gluten back in, I got a mouth sore last night. I noticed it when I was brushing my teeth. I remember having them all of the time when I was young young and up through highschool. They ranged in size from pencil erasers to quarters and usually would show up on my inner cheeks and lips. I always thought...

Thank you for the link!

My gynecologist had my vitamin D levels tested but we never heard back about the results. To be honest that test had slipped to the back of my mind. I will call their office tomorrow to see what the results were. I take a multi-vitamin daily and a caclium supplement fortified with vitamin D so I am unsure if that will affect results of what my body is absorbing...

At this point I feel like a medical anomaly. My doctors told me I'm an unusual case of polycystic ovaries as well. I wouldn't be too surprised if I am part of the select false negative. Do you know how much gluten one would have to ingest and for how long in order to have accurate test results in blood serology and in biopsy? Thank you for the...

I just checked what my nutritionist let me see. It shows I was tested using a Celiac Sero Cascade Immunoglobin A (IgA) and a TTG AB IGA. Can you remember what the other tests you had done were called and what they tested for? When I checked that, I took a look at my other results and noticed that my RBC count was low, making me an anemic. I had been taking...

Over my first year at college I developed some gastrointestinal issues that seem to be snowballing. I am at a loss as to where to go or what to do next. I am 19, 5’4” and 91 pounds. Over the course of two semesters I lost ten pounds of body weight, became horribly weak, pregnant looking, and all round miserable. So let the story begin: I was diagnosed wit...
