I did have to give urine today at the lab too for the tests the Doctor listed. Not sure which ones the urine is for though. The ECG only takes 10 seconds when hooked up. I had one done when I was a teen and pretty sure I remember it taking 15 minutes back then. Guess they have things fine tuned now days.

Thank you very much for all the info Squirmingitch. The doctor told me as we were talking he was going to order some tests with urine so I don't know why he didn't mark that. Maybe he forgot as we were talking? Duly noted about the bladder Cancer to watch out for too. Doctor said it will take about a week to get the lab results back usually from this...

Thank you. Ok yes I will do that for sure if the test is negative. I have read that you are not alone; that this has happened to other people too.

Thank you. Yes pretty eye opening reading all the health complications that can be associated with Celiac. My father past away from Prostate Cancer so the doctor said it is a good time to do blood tests for that too and I've had high blood sugar levels in the past too so he ordered tests to do with that too. May as well get all the basis covered...

Just finished at the doctors. He said here in Canada the family doctor orders a blood test then if that show's positive he sends me to a specialist and orders the biopsy. He is going to check for lots of different stuff he said but also said it sounds like Celiac. Here are the tests he is getting them to do on me:

Just read on the forum here that bone/dental disorders can be associated with Celiac. Two years ago I had an MRI done because of very painful lower back after moving something heavy in my warehouse job. The MRI showed I had two herniated discs and the MRI notes showed Osteoporosis also. I guess that would make sense if I have had Celiac's all my life and...

Thank you very much! My doctors apt is in one hour from now so I took a picture of your post to show him so there will be no misunderstandings.

Thank you very much for the reply and advice I assume doctors didn't know or check into this disease too much back in the early 80's or my family doctor would have easily seen these symptoms and discussed this with me then. If I do have this disease it would explain a lot about my health and overall physical discomfort all my life. Pretty sad if it is the...

I'm 43 years old. I'm married and have two teen daughters. After all these years it was one of my daughters who tonight said to me: "you probably have Celiac disease" after hearing my wife and I talking about all the pimples I always get on my arms. I never heard of the disease but I have heard about a lot of people having gluten allergies and didn't...
