Well, I saw a new doctor today, and he wasn't as scary as I'd presumed. Actually, not too bad. But-get this-he is testing me for thyroid(I have seven markers, yikes!)for iron, for type II diabetes, PCOS and eventualy wants to give me a camera bum...if you KWIM...and wondered why I didn't get more than just a barium enema last spring. My tummy has been excellent. i'm having fairly normal poops but the occasional attack, usually after too much fat, too much broccoli or whole grains. Oh well I guess it's worth another inspection.

I'm scared that it is my thyroid, but sort of OK with it too...my sister has major thyroid...but really scared I'm diabetic. My mom is type 2. Looks like thyroid is much more severe to mess around with but neither autoimmune disorder looks fun!

Please keep me in your prayers!! I will let you know ASAP.

Keep on keepin' on...
