Nope not Celiac...I have CROHN's Disease instead

yesterday i had a great day. weather was temperate, met up with a friend i haven't seen in 5 years, had lunch with the girls, took a beautiful walk, and won a card table from a local pharmacy's drawing!


today, i find out the blood test came back negative for thyroid problems (specifically hyperthyroidism) but...

I HAVE CROHN'S DISEASE.

an answer...finally. after 10 years.

Went to see the Doctor

last monday, december 3, i finally had my appointment. doc said she doesn't think it's celiac because of the blood test results. she didn't mention anything about false negatives nor did she think all my symptoms added up to be celiac. however, she did order more blood and urine tests and after seeing the results of them, may consider an endoscopy.

she was concerned that i could have crohn's disease and/or thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism.

the blood tests should give some answers. she also mentioned the possibility of a colonoscopy.

ugh.
