Hey Everyone, I heard back from the doctor today and it turns out my blood tests showed that I was anemic, so I'm breathing a sigh of relief Not saying being anemic is good, but I'm glad it wasn't something more serious. I've just posted in the Eating for IBS forum for some tips on Iron supplements and how to increase iron in my diet, but I wanted to say thanks again for everyone's kind words and reassurances. It's ironic, that nasty GI doc I saw not too long ago who refused to listen to me and do any tests other than a colonoscopy. When I asked him to do a Celiac test he said there was no point because a. I wasn't think enough (GRRRR) and b. my iron levels were fine. He was looking at blood work from 2001! I told him that and he just shrugged and said he saw no need to repeat blood work. What an idiot! Sorry, just venting Thanks again, Kelly
