I went to the gastroenterologist today. I think he is a really good doctor! What I especially liked about him was that he didn't look at me like I'm a nutcase nor give me the pity look. I'm not crazy and I don't want to be pitied. He took Fibromyalgia seriously.
He noted I have slight dermographism, thinks that testing for Celiac is a good idea. He said I may end up being just gluten sensitive, not fully celiac.
They checked my weight, took blood pressure and blood to be tested for celiac markers. I also need to collect my urine over a 24-hour period.
He said depending on results of blood and urine labs, I may have endoscopy and tissue biopsy from the small intestine.
