Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I am going to be persistant! I am also going to ask my rhuemy to run tests on me for it! After going over the symptoms, I am convinced that I have had this my whole life! I was always sick as a kid with unexplainable stomach pain, fatigue, etc. I also have osteoporosis, troubles with conceiving and now have a liver disease that the doctor performed a biopsy on and dx me with primary biliary cirhosis and the biopsy was inconclusive. Anyway, I am going to push this with my doctor. Maybe I should take Kylie to see her too.

Diarrhea alternating with constipation. That and vomiting. At the time, my parents were told that it wasn't CD because of the vomiting. (It wasn't on the list of " classic " symptoms then, and neither was constipation.) But the symptoms list is so vast now, who can really say that someone doesnt have CD until after they are tested. At least the doctor agreed to go through with the tests. Keep us updated on the results! I hope you figure out what is causing all of this! Be persistant! And remember.... A MOTHER KNOWS BEST!!! > > I took my DD to the GI pediatric specialist today. I had a summary of her health problems from birth til now. He read them over and asked some questions. He said CD could be the cause but he wasn't convinced because she has diarrhea AND constipation. WHAT????? EVERY other symptom on the list she has had. So I asked him about that. So, she has 5 things wrong with her that are all different? It would make sense that they are all one thing. He said he thinks it is autoimmune and I was under the impresion that celiac was autoimmune. He said no. BUT, he is going to do all the testing for celiac, including the biopsy to rule it out. He is running a ton of tests on blood, stool, and doing ultrasound on her stomach. UGH! > > I feel a little defeated. He was very nice although, it bothered me a bit that he kept dismissing the idea. I know he is the doctor. But, I am the mom and I just feel like this is the right place to be...... > > Zanna > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Art_on_A_Budget/ > > My daily rantings! > www.zannasstory.blogspot.com > > My picture trail: > www.picturetrail.com/xanadoodles > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Art_on_A_Budget/ My daily rantings! www.zannasstory.blogspot.com My picture trail: www.picturetrail.com/xanadoodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
