nvs, It's too late for me to cancel my appointment (scheduled for Monday morning). I'm not sure what the genetic test was called. It was a blood test. It's labeled Gluten Sensitivity AG, then says "permissive genes absent. Celiac Disease extremely unlikely." Another page reads, "Celiac gene pairs present --- No (method: Low to Medium or High Resolution... -
Yeah, I guess I should add that I'm back home in Texas now. Couldn't afford to stay at Mayo for weeks, so I'm back home and going to get the endoscopy and colonoscopy here in Austin. It also might help to add that I am a 39 year-old male. I didn't mention that in the original post.

Hello, I finally made the trip I've been looking forward to for quite some time. I'd been to 7 different doctors, and none could tell me what is wrong with me or what is causing my symptoms. I thought the Mayo Clinic might finally provide the answer, but once again, no answers. A brief history: Two years ago, I ate whatever I wanted (very poor...

Thank you for the response nvsmom. I have had my thyroid checked, and again results came back negative. I had my thyroid checked because my hands began to get very cold at work, and I've never experienced this before. My rheumatoid doctor originally told me that my testosterone was low but my thyroid came back okay. I then saw an endocrinologist, and all...

Hello board, I am looking for a GI doctor that specializes in Celiac's Disease. I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask or if anyone would have knowledge, but I thought I would try. I live in the South Austin area in Texas. I found a doctor named Dr. Luban in Austin, but he does not take my insurance (BCBS). Does anyone have any recommendations on...

The last two days my wrists and hands have been hurting pretty badly. My wrists pop constantly. I didn't realize that the cashews I've been eating from the self bins, the organic oatmeal, and the granola bars could have gluten in them. Again, I don't have stomach pain other than gas and bloating sometimes. But, I eat a lot of beans and rice. Anyway, I'm going...

Same question for these supplements as above? Can I buy these supplements at any grocery store with a pharmacy, or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks for the advice. Where is a good place to find the chelated manganese and zinc, and how many mgs of each?

First, let me say thanks to all the replies. This is interesting b/c I've always been very thin as well. I guess it might help to tell a little more about myself. I'm 38, male, and have been experiencing joint pain for the last 4-5 years. After seeing doctors this year, I'm thinking that the aches and pains I've had in my hips and shoulders (popping) over...

Howdy, I'm new to the forum, and I'm hoping to get some answers for my symptoms over the past year. I've been having joint pain in my hands, wrist, hips, knees, and most recently in my shoulders. Over the last six months I've been to five different doctors (two rheumatologists). They've checked RA factor, uric acid levels, Vitamin D levels, blood sugar...
