    UPDATE: I got my Celiac Disease (celiac disease) tests back and they were all negative which comforts me and also kind of confuses me more. They ran several Celiac tests and are mailing me all the paperwork. Next visit is with the Gastroenterologist at the beginning of March. I kind of feel so discouraged that I don’t have a diagnosis yet but relieved and s...

    But is going to chiropractor directly related to relieving abdominal pain? Thanks!
  3. xcalibr
    No, I have not. I'm still amazed that people have been finding relief visiting one. I found someone local that I was going to visit. Just hate to spend the money to only discover that they can't help. Ya know?
  4. xcalibr
    Yep, agreed 100%. Thank you!
  5. xcalibr
    Yes, they said they would be mailing me all my paperwork and results. I already got quite lengthy paperwork for the other blood tests. I just didn't ask at the time what was the exact name or type of celiac test(s) they were going to do. I will have to see what the results are and what test(s) were exactly done then I can proceed based on your information...

    I would like to know the differences too in the healing processes. Wonder which forum that should be started in? Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure my PCP did all the Celiac tests accept for the genetic testing, which I'm not even sure if my insurance would pay for. I understand what you're saying if it comes back positive but what if it comes back negative? I had been eating like normal prior to the test, not sure if it was a "full gluten" diet. Not sure what that would have entailed...

    I will, thank you!

    Thank you. I actually just called yesterday. Nothing yet.

    Something I never would have considered. I will do some research into it. Thank you so much for suggesting this.

    Hi, thank you. I was put on the cancel list but I hadn't thought about calling every couple of days also. Thank you so much for the advice.

    Yeh, I agree. I have not had any scans yet. My GI appointment is at the beginning of March, earliest they could see me. Pathetic. It's not "ER pain" honestly but I do have a high tolerance for pain. I've had great success in eliminating gluten over the past week or so but the lower left pain still won't seem to subside. If a gluten issue I had been abusing...

    Good to know. PCP found nothing serious with organs. Pain fluctuates between 1-5. I'm still confused to how it could possibly be Celiac or gluten intolerance because I don't really experience any pain while I sleep. When I stand or walk it's like a 2-3 and when I sit it's about a 5. Is this common among suffers? I would have assumed it was pain all the time...
  14. xcalibr
    I'm sorry. What exactly are you referring to? Has anyone looked at my GI tract yet? No. My GI appt is at the beginning of March. Debating if I should go to the ER instead. Probably be very expensive though. Ugh.

    Awesome! No little green football for me! Thanks frieze.

    Thanks joce511, I keep forgetting to drink my perppermint tea, thanks for the reminder. Only taking my meds for the vitamin D deficiency currently. Thank you!

    Hi flutegal64, I’m not sure if he thought Celiac per se right off the bat, but I was surprised he didn’t refer me to a GI immediately. Guessing he didn’t think it was anything serious? It’s serious and it won’t go away. I made an appointment with a GI but they can’t see me for another month. All 4 that I called were the same thing. This is insane. Thank you ...

    Thanks for the update leej91, it’s very much appreciated. 24? Wow. I read stories of young people and I couldn’t imagine suffering at that age. So sorry to hear and I hope this forum can possibly help.
  19. xcalibr
    Thank you leej91. It's weird because my only constant symptom is the lower left abdominal pain and sometimes the left pelvic pain since I cut out all gluten. Prior I had bloating almost every time I ate something. I just wasn't paying attention or even thinking I could have developed a gluten intolerance. Still don't understand the biggest difference between...

    Hi cristiana, thank you for the suggestion on the dairy. I also just bought some peppermint tea this past weekend. It does seem to help, thank you. I just don't understand how food can damage your body so much like this to cause abdominal pains for so long. I can't even imagine what people used to do before this was discovered. Those poor people.

    Hi frieze. D3-50 Calciferol/Drisdol 50,000 Unit Capsule. Take 1 capsule by mouth every week. Then RA Vitamin D3 Calciferol/Drisdol 5,000 Unit Softgel. Take one capsule by mouth once daily after high dose therapy complete.

    Hi cristiana, thank you for sharing. My issues are also on my left side, sorry for the confusion. I get worse worse while on the potty too basically because I’m bending over which hurts the worst. I also had another person suggest visiting a chiropractor. Interesting. I actually had cereal yesterday, which I had not had for quite some t...

    Hi leej91, thank you for sharing. I had also wondered if GERD could be another issue I have. Who diagnosed that, your gastroenterologist? Thanks!
  24. xcalibr
    Correct, this was a PCP, sorry I did not include that info. I was told to visit them first otherwise it might cost more without his referral. They didn't think a colonoscopy was needed. He said that if the Celiac test was negative that he is going to refer me to a gastroenterologist. Would that be the correct next course of action? Thank you.
  25. xcalibr
    I’m hoping someone might have had similar issues so I’m reaching out for help. I’ll be as brief and as concise as I can. I’m 47, male, 6’1”, 260lbs and have never had any major medical issues, accept 2 kidney stones, one last year and one 25 years ago, nor have I ever been to the ER. This all started around Thanksgiving, which was the worst. After having eate...
