Well, I saw the GI doc today and he agrees that Celiac is a very likely possibility. He had me get some blood work done: Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, Ferritin level, and TIBC with Serum Iron. He said that if the TTG comes back positive he will want to do an upper endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis (which I expected). It will probably be middle of next week before he gets the results back.

In the meantime, he doesn't want me going GF just yet because of the testing and possible endoscopy. He told me to avoid known triggers and greasy or fatty foods and he also wants me to take Metamucil daily to try and regulate my BM's. If the test comes back negative, he is going to treat it as IBS for a while and see what happens.

This is the hardest part.......waiting!

Thanks for being here....you've all been a big help!
