  1. Hi all. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this long post. I'm a 23 yo female. I have had quite the year in terms of health issues. here's a recap, which actually starts senior year in high school: may 2012 - had horrible bouts of constipation that came out of no where. something I had never experienced before. tested positive tTg IgA = 38....
  2. Update- I met a new GI doc and I told her my long story. When I got to the part about my pediatrician not sharing the positive ttg iga test results with me she was shocked. So she is going to recheck my blood for ttg-iga and EMA-iga after I eat gluten again for three months. She also wants me taking nexium until my repeat endoscopy next summer for the...
  3. Those are from August 2016 from when I had the ttg iga come back as 4.0 (>=4 was weak positive).
  4. for anyone interested in helping me decipher my pathology report, i could use the help: 1. Duodenum, biopsy:- Small intestinal mucosa with no specific pathologic change, see note.2.

  5. @GFinDC i was eating it all the time. i just had my iron checked again last week and I've got iron deficiency anemia. I imagine my doc will liken that to being a menstruating young woman. I just don't know what to do from here. I think I'll try to start over with a better GI doc, i've been going to just a nurse practitioner.
  6. @squirmingitch Thank you so much! Oh I know, my jaw literally hit. the. floor. when I saw that yesterday. I was starting to think I'm a hypochondriac, but no its just doctors hiding results from me -___- She wasn't a specialist, just a regular ped. maybe she just wasnt informed enough. I'll never know.
  7. If I have been doing the gluten free diet for exactly 8 weeks now, how many weeks do I need to eat gluten daily in order to have an accurate blood test? How much do I need to eat per day? In August 2016 I had the ttg-iga blood serum test and got a 4.0 units on a scale where > 4.0 means antibody detected. I had the endoscopy in August and was told...
  8. hello all. any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! Interesting story here, sorry it's quite long. I'm a 22 yo female. I've had GI discomfort for much of high school and college, namely frequent constipation and bloating, abdominal pain. I haven't exactly found the foods that trigger these symptoms. This past year I trained for a half marathon...
