I am a wife, a mother of four precious children, a Christian, and I have a dog named Martha. I love to cook. I have Celiac Disease. I am looking forward to my journey with the foods that will help heal me. Want to join me on my journey?

More than a little frustrated
Well, I got the results back on my scope/biopsies. Pretty much inconclusive. That's great. My blood levels indicate that I have Celiac Disease, but the scope/biopsies...not as much. They took biopsies of my esophagus and small intestines. My stomach shows some spots (they said mostly from ibuprofen use). No ulcers. I guess that's good news! However, the gastroenterologist didn't find much damage to my small intestines (which would indicate Celiac Disease). She sent in the biopsies of what she did see and the pathologist says that they seem to indicate CD. I was really hoping for a definitive answer. Yes or No. Celiac Disease or Not Celiac Disease. I didn't get to talk to the doctor. It's one of those deals where you call their office and enter a code number and there's a recorded message from the doctor with the results. Sometimes I hate technology. I wish I could have gotten the results directly from the doctor. I have questions. "See you in two months" was part of the message. Do I really have to wait two months to ask my questions? Ugh. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be sick. I would much rather have had the test come back as Not Celiac Disease. I just wanted a definite answer! Life goes on...
