Good News, I Got An Earlier Appt

I was going to have to wait till Oct to see the Gastro. (remember I think I may have found a really good one that listens to her patients). There was an opening Sept 7 so I took it. (leave 8th for colorado). Today they called and they had an opening this friday!! I may get my testing in before I leave for Colorado.

I had another attack. I ordered the exact same *gluten-free* items from the same place and got the same reaction.... corn tortillas. Looking back, the only corn products I eat is corn or a few fritos which is fine but these two times I ate quite a bit of corn tortilla. hmmmm

Anyway, this is good news. Plus I hadn't had dental care in 20 years and I only have minimal work to be done (after they got all the deep root cleaning done* OUCH.) the stinky part is they have to drill out old fillings. boooo Cracks in them.

So, after not having scopes for 22 years and living with the same blanket IBS diagnosis...for that long.... Looks like I might get some real answers. I am hopeful. What I really want to know more than anything is how much damage has been done so I know how strict I need to be and with what ingredients. Todays episode was in public. How miserable.

Well I was excited :) I surely didn't want to wait so long to see her. I hope she is as good as she is made out to be.

Don't you love it when people cancel appointments? Good luck.

Esp for this one. I was also warned the office wait is very long even when you DO get in. She spends a good amt of time with each patient. Since that is the case, I really don't mind. I know when it's my turn I will get the same treatment.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
