Hey Everyone,
I went into the docs today to discuss what to do about my iron levels, and found out that the celiac blood test I had done came back negative...I hope this doesn't make me odd but I was kinda hoping it would have been positive, because then at least I would know what I have to do to feel better. Plus, it would have explained alot of my symptoms including the iron defiency and severe edema I get in my legs and ankles.
My doc said they could do an endoscopy to be sure, but that would be up to the GI guy, and as many of you know the GI guy doesn't want to test for celiac because "I'm not thin enough". I know it's likely just IBS, but I still feel I deserve a chance to get everything ruled out...so I'm kinda upset.
Sorry, just venting for the most part, I hope it doesn't seem weird that I'm upset with what most people would consider a good result 
Kelly
