Bone Density Scan

Well, I saw my doctor today, to get the results of the bone density scan, which was done three weeks ago. They sent her a graph, to show exactly where my results are at in comparison to the norm. And my bones appear to be just great.

My hip bones are extremely normal (right in the middle of normal), and my lower spine was still in the normal range, but on the low end.

It said that there is no concern about a higher risk of fractures.

That's a relief! So, if I make sure I get enough vitamins D, C and Calcium and Magnesium, I should be fine.

My doctor is sending me to a nose-throat-ear specialist to check for nasal polyps, because I have all the symptoms, had them removed once as a child, and undiagnosed and untreated (by avoidance of salicylates) salicylate sensitivity tends to cause recurring polyps.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?
