Spent the morning at the Gastroenterologists. I was pleased with the visit. I was not able to get the doctor I requested but I was able to see one of his fellows. He was extremely nice and very knowledgeable (although I didn't learn anything new but at least it didn't seem like I knew more than he did)...he is also an adoptive parent - we are everywhere, LOL! One of the easiest to converse with doctors I've ever met.
As expected, an endoscopy has been scheduled. He stated he was "92. No, 95% sure that this is celiac sprue" but the endoscopy is the definitive diagnosis. So that is scheduled for Monday. (Boo!)
Also as expected, he wants me back on gluten until that endoscopy/biopsy. I was actually really disappointed about having to do this because I don't want to lose my momentum....I struggle with will power and I was feeling really good about my commitment to being gluten-free. Just hoping I don't blow it this week. (Boo!)
So I'll keep you updated!
