Red face jdeb





Hello, don't know what quite to say, except very frustrated, multiple problems, and a history this past 3 years no one wants to know. Dr. ordered boo-koo tests, and now celiac, D-xylose absorption, and serum trypsin (ogen). Difficult for me because I have lupus, Sjgroens, psoriasis inflammatory joint disease, degenerative disk disease (some fusions), Reynauds, just got over 14 inches of colon taken out sept. 05, then in feb. hospitalized for small bowel obstruction and followed with my birthday present of 105 degree delirious viral pneumonia in hospital for 8 days. BUT, I was-until all this-a full-time athlete since age 5 and perfect health. Now everything is falling apart. How do I know if I have celiac also? I feel foolish because I have never been on the internet before. Husband died 5 years ago so I'm sort of lost. Have I made a fool of myself? jd
