CELIAC Disease - Health, Fitness, and Sports

What a story this is....are you sure you have the time for it???

Yes, I've replaced the toaster, my pots/pans (coulda' just scrubbed those, but they were 25 years old & I felt like treating myself...) got all new bakeware (wanted to replace the cheap-o aluminum ones) and cleaned all the cake mixes, flour & everything else w/gluten in it out of my pantry.

I was dx w/IBS about 15 years ago. Live my life & it progressivly got worse. Esp. the last 3 years. In the past 6 months a discernable pattern emerged: I would eat my favorite Subway sandwich & after a short time I was in the ladies room, sick as a dog. It ramped up and by June of this year the "short time" got to be just about 15 minutes. Then by the end of Aug. I was so sick (in a stores restroom, no less!) that I looked it all up on the internet.

Now I had been told 15 yrs/ago that I **couldn't** have Celiac Disease because I was a healthy weight. (That healthy & obese people don't have Celiac). But in my internet research I found that to be a falacy proven wrong recently. So I looked deeper & my EXACT symptoms were listed by Celiac's again & again. I happened to glance over at my 16 y/old son & it clicked....HE HAS CELIAC DISEASE. (In a nutshell, this kid is the pickiest eater I've EVER known & he has had "tummy trouble" since he stopped nursing at 13 months old. Poor kid, he's had a near-constant stomach ache for over 14 years!)

Went to the Dr & he refused to do the bloodwork (wth???) but instead gave me a referall to a GI specialist. WHAT A FRACKEN JOKE! The "specialist" told me basically that because he can't treat Celiac Disease we won't even talk about it...but we'll do a colonoscopy & just to make you feel better I'll throw in the endoscopy.

Lieing SOB refused to give me my test results! (claimed their computers were down; but I had seen the receptionists signing in pt's & doing work on them) ALL because the tests were positive for CD!

I fired him (after calling the Practice Administrator & lodging a very loud, formal complaint!) I did get the results & moved on to a Mayo Clinic. They are so thurough there that right now I have 5 different "differential diagnosis" until my f-up this Wed. (I believe I will get the CD diagnosis then, my sons bloodwork was positive).

I think my Aspergers had a violent collision with that "specialists" arrogant ego & it was NOT a pretty sight!
