What's Next?

Posted May 06 2009 1:33pm
I woke up this morning feeling pretty discouraged. I heard back from the Dr. and they still can't find out what is wrong with my gut. Monday evening I ended up doubled over and in tears while trying to cook dinner. This morning, I was awake at 3am in pain, but yet they can't find anything! I think I know what caused the pain on Monday. I had eaten some homemade trail mix and I think the nuts and dried fruit were just more than my tummy could handle. I am having to be so careful about what I eat that I am finding myself almost afraid of food. This is NOT good for someone who has struggled with anorexia in the past! I am also thinking I may need to cut out the goat yogurt for about a week and see if there is further improvement. I went yesterday and got some Probiotics and I also started taking digestive enzymes. We'll see if that helps.

On top of the Dr. not finding anything, he also said that the biopsy of my small intestines didn't show signs of Celiac! Duh! I haven't been eating gluten! This is really what's bugging me I think. No one could EVER convince me that I don't have Celiac. I tested positive for it 3 years ago and I KNOW what it does to my body. So, he wants me to have genetic testing for Celiac. My thinking is, why have that done? Regardless of what the test showed or didn't show--I will NOT go back on gluten! All I know is, I have got to find a way to get well! I will remain gluten free and grain free. I would love to hear what you think about whether I should have this test done or not. Please feel free to leave comments with your thoughts or your own experiences:)

Gotta run now. I have to work all day today(cleaning two houses). Ugh!
