Thanks everybody for the warm welcome. It's nice for once to feel like I belong somewhere, and that I can get support if I need it.

You said you were diagnosed with IBS...did you have a lot of tests done to rule out other disorders? Have you had a colonoscopy, upper and lower GI series or anything like that? You really should have those tests done along with the Celiac test to make sure it's nothing more serious.
*Points to the quote* they diagnosed me when i was really young, like, 7 or 8 maybe. My parents were getting divorced at the time, and I have virtually no recollection of a lot of those years. I have no idea if they did any tests, or just gave up and called it IBS. As I mentioned before, I'm still waiting for a call form the doctors to tell me my appointment date. Unfortunately, my medical coverage runs out at the end of this month, so this should be fun... I have a bloodwork slip to test for celiac, but my husband works days and I work nights (and I don't drive), so I haven't had time to go yet.
But, as I said, thatnks for the welcome, and the support and suggestions ^__^=
