I had a telephone conference with my doctor yesterday about the continuing digestive problems, and I now have an appointment with her on Wednesday. I told her I have eliminated gluten from my diet and am starting to feel much better, so I'm pretty sure my problem is wheat and/or gluten. Hence, another appointment. Blood tests were never done prior to the endoscope because my heartburn was so severe that they wanted to do find out what was going on. The report says the GI did only one biopsy of my intestine, which is not enough to tell anything.

Thank you. I don't think they are celiac saavy. I may have to look outside the Kaiser system, and I know I have to start eating gluten again for 2 to 4 weeks prior to the testing. Mt PCP was confused as to why the GI doctor did not test for my digestive difficulties, considering I told him about my gluten concern and he read my chart which has plenty in it. I may have to look outside the Kaiser system for a GI doctor.
