Hi to All,
I am new to this forum and would appreciate any feedback.
I have had MS for approx. 25 years, though only diagnosed 4 years ago by a great Neruologist. Began Tysabri 36 months ago and it is working well. Though I developed a nasty GI bug at Christmas and havent been right since.
I have had blood test which confirmed positive for Celiac Sprue and anemia yesterday. Odd presentation with weight gain, increased blood pressure, mild right sided abd and shoulder blade pain plus a mild MS attack with old and new symptoms. I had IV steroids along with my Tysabri just yesterday.
Where do I go from here. Of course I will begin the Gluten Free diet - but do I see an allergist or a gastroenterologist. Should I insist on biopsy and tests for bacteria?
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
I would also be curious if there are other people who have started Tysabri and then developed Celiac Spru.

Peace
