Thanks - I thought that might be the case. My phone consultation isn't until the end of June; and with the current COVID situation here it could be quite a while before I'm able to get in to actually have the procedure done. I'm doubtful I could make it two weeks on gluten again, but to be honest, the only reason I am pursuing the colonoscopy is to rule...

I was diagnosed via blood test as borderline. I've cut gluten and feel significantly better. I can't think about sugar. If I have any sweets my insides get angry for about a week. Same goes for nuts or beans. I have heard sugars and legumes are hard to digest, so I figure this Celiac thing has effed up my intestines so much that they cannot handle...

I seemed to plateau at 200 for a while, which is an... -
Celiac diagnosis was through bloodwork. I have a copy of the results. They're sending me for biopsies, however that may be a while depending on the COVID situation here as all non-emergency procedures have been suspended. I'm not sure if I am interpreting it correctly, but it looks like the IgG test has approximately 85% sensitivity and 95% specificity...

Hi - About 10 years ago I started developing a sensitivity to sugary foods. If I ate any treats I would have diarrhea for a couple of days after. I've had anxiety issues all my life so that only seemed to compound things. I'd worry whenever there wasn't a washroom available. At work I would have to wait for an hour after starting for them to unlock the washrooms...
