So I thought I had IBS at least thats what my GI doctor told me I had after the colonoscopy, then I went to a follow-up GI appointment mentioned how much weight I was losing (which I had thought was a good thing!)and he made me get blood work to test for Celiac Sprue. Well the results were positive. But they said that blood work isnt the end all test cause not all of the blood work was positive. So they are doing some sort of camera down the throat thing to look at my stomach and make sure its Celiac Sprue. Anyone know anything about Celiac Sprue? I researched it online and its a gluten-free thing. Well, I'm confused because it seems like all I eat is rice and bread! So now I just dont know what to eat! I'm also lactose intolerant. My down the throat test (I forget the name) isnt until after the holidays so I guess I just deal for now. But I was wondering if any of you knew anything about Celiac. I was also wondering if its possible to have both IBS and Celiac?! It seems like your typical "bad for IBS" foods still bother me. Argh... so confusing. If anyone has any info on Celiac or what I should eat until I get tested (I'm gonna be in Arizona for the holidays) please let know. It will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks everyone!
