ARCHIVED Preliminary Results EGD? Celiac?
DobbyNeedsaSock replied to DobbyNeedsaSock's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just left a message with the health aide; doctor should call this morning for radio traffic. I asked him if he could ask doctor to put in the order for celiac test on the blood she drew yesterday (in the event she didn't request it). I also got another email from my aunt who has celiac and so do some of her children she stated the following "btw, since... -

I know they did a few years ago but I was on a low carb diet (veggies, fruit, meat, coconut flour, seeds/nuts); when they tested me. I have been gluten free for a week; but I had a reaction to something I ate last night. (Itchiness all over but no rash, tingling in fingers, joint... -

Hi, I've struggled with GI issues (IBS, GERD) and poly-cystic ovarian syndrome for the last 5-6 years (I am 26). My reflux has been continually getting worse and my doctor was concerned since I take high doses of Zantac. They referred me to specialty clinic for endoscopy. During my EGD doctor noticed lots of inflammation and he left a note stating that...
