Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Because I'm Finnish, the Finns have a high rate of having Celiac disease, the GI wanted me checked again. Plus my uncle was really severe Celiac. Could have inherited the gene - however I don't think so b/c I live on white bread and have no rashes etc. that I should if it was Celiac.

Turns out the hernia is also inherited - my grandma and my mom both have them. I never really noticed it bothering me with acid reflux, but I do get a tight feeling in my sternum sometimes.

I have to wait until Dec. for my results because that is how busy the GI is. I was the 6th patient for a scope today - he has 15 total. Glad I'm not him!!

I get to take tomorrow off work too - the dr. said I will still be legally impared until 1 pm tomorrow. I called my boss and he said he would pick me up and drive me to the office - at least I could answer the phones and make more sense than he did doing it today. Hee Hee - I ought to buy him a skirt! He had to play administrator for 2 hrs while my asst. was at a legal appt. for her house - closing day is tomorrow. (And she wanted the day off - too bad! I booked off sick first!) But I'm not going in unless my house burns down and I have nowhere else to stay!

Anyways, I'm rambling away - drugs are still making me wobbly. I did have a great nap this afternoon.
