The number of times I have a BM has decreased significantly. I still have the loose D stools, but not as much (quantity wise). I think my body is trying to figure itself out. Yesterday though, I did have a set back, and am not sure what it was that triggered it. Now, back to the doc. Anyway, she said that the biopsy was "not clear cut", there were areas affected, but that with the positive blood tests and the fact that my body is responding to the GF diet, I have Celiac Sprue. I told her of the enterolab results which confirm what she is telling me, and about the gene test results. I asked what she thought about getting my girls tested. She said she had never been asked that before (she is a young doctor), but said that she is going to refer me to a geneticist, to see about the gene testing and see if the girls are high risk. She told me that kids present differently that adults, so it is possible that they may need to be tested. I told her my concerns about my oldest daughter, and she agreed that it would be a good to catch it early if possible. So I will be setting up an appointment soon. I will follow up with my GI in August. She said if I am not 100% by then, we will look at other options.
I am glad that I finally have some answers. I just wish I would have done this sooner!!!!
Til next time!
