I live in Ontario.

I should think you should have the results within two weeks. Can you check your own test and lab results via computer in your healthcare system?

Thanks! Glad this site is active.

I had the biopsy  done at the hospital no way to get it other than Dr.

Not sure how your healthcare operates where you live but here in the USA it doesn't matter where the procedure is done it will still go into your medical record which is accessible to the patient online through the healthcare group you are a part of. The healthcare group provides the patient members with access to their records through a software portal. But in Canada your healthcare is totally socialized so it may not work the same.

It would be worth sending an email, or calling your doctor to see if you can get the results sooner, especially if you are suffering on a gluten-free diet. It sounds like all your celiac screening is now completed (I assume you had a blood test before your biopsy), and if so, you should be able to go gluten-free, but I'd let you doctor know beforehand.

      Diabetes like symptoms and more

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
