yucky. I'm so nervous, but he's not rushing to check me out, so that's good. Maybe he'll just forget. I have such high doubt that I could be celiac...

Maybe that was part of my blood tests, not sure.
You'd think they'd have checked that before though, eh? after the stool culture, the blood, the ultrasound, the barium enema, the barium swallow!!!!

celiac spru and it's a blood test. Check and see if that one was ordered. I had one and it came back negative therefore I never needed the endoscopy. Had the colonoscopy though and if you've never had one you probably should. It not pleasant but will put your mind at ease ruling out other stuff!

I don't remember the exact terms, but look on your blood test results for
1. Transglutimates - something like that is the more reliable test for celiac according to my GI
2. IgA and IgC are the less reliable test
Something like that I could have it wrong this is off the top of my head...

sounds familiar. maybe. But he said we'd worry about it later-he's not too concerned. I really highly doubt it's celaic, but not against testing. poke and prod me if you can make me feel great again!
