LOL I like how your phone auto corrected "Celiac disease" as "Celibacy disease" HAHA! Too funny! There are blood tests you can get done to check for celiac disease. It's called a celiac panel. That's what I had done. They don't necessarily diagnose celiac disease through colonoscopy though. It's usually through an endoscopy and then they take a small bowel biopsy. Can I just say how absolutely inappropriate your doctor is? Does she think you LIKE going to the doctor? UGH. LMAO! I didn't even notice that HAHAHAHA!!!! * crying over here * Yes I talked to my obgyn's nurse today about it instead of talking with my pcp. I was fearful she would brush it off as me just being anxious. The nurse said at some point I could be tested for it but she suggested switching my diet around and figuring out what foods trigger tummy upset. I gave her my history and she asked if my pain lasts pretty much through my whole period or if it subsides. Mine lasts all way through until the very last day when I am just spotting here and there. She seemed a little concerned about how I always find a way to bleed through anything I wear at night - my bloodflow. Is heavy as hell at night for some reason . I could be wearing the worlds largest maximum pad and still find a way to get blood everywhere. I have even woken up with it up my back She also seemed concerned how I was basically bedridden at 10 with my very first period with severe leg and pelvic pain along with vomiting . I've had the killer pelvic and leg pain for 20 years so I guess I'm used to it. I just hate how it has always found a way to disable me. Going to work like that wasn't fun and I couldn't concentrate. I handle it better than I did as a kid but it still sucks. I told her I have always gotten low back pain and migraines with my period even before my roll over accident . I did tell her that I wasn't sure how long I had the rectal pain for but that I feel iys associated with my period because I get mild discomfort when I ovulate but disabling pain there with my period.

She is going to speak with my obgyn and he is going to speak with the dr who will be doing my surgery. He is the best dr in the whole building from what I've heard people say. A friend of mine knows someone with endo and this dr is the one who did her surgery so he is experienced at finding and removing it. I forgot to tell her a few other things that I will discuss tomorrow and at my appointment with the dr. I get very bad heart palps and high heart rate when I ovulate. So bad I've been taken to emergency. I also have a tendency to get infections fairly easy. If I stay in lake water too long ill get a yeast infection very easily when none of my friends do. I've had ear, throat upper resp infections. And a history of some low grade fevers before my period. I'm so happy to be getting help. Its been 20 years yay!

I knew my luck wouldn't last. I spoke with the OBGYN office and they said they wont be able to see me to talk about surgery until I pay them $125 for passed due bills and get set up on a payment plan. After rent each month I only have a little over 30 dollars left so all I can think of doing is selling my car Its the only way I can afford to live and pay some of my bills. I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well. . . . . . My life I guess.

Did you qualify for medical assistance? Though it's been a while, I've heard of practitioners eliminating or significantly reducing amounts owed - can you look and see if there's a hidden program like that in your area? I'm sorry they put you in that predicament. It's so sad that people in the US get care based on how much money they have.

OH GOD. That is so sad. I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. You shouldn't have to sell your car to get medical care. This is so damn upsetting. I'm so sorry!! Any chance to get assistance from the county or the state? If you go on google, do a search for the county hospital in your area then do a search for their county medical services plan. Every county has one but the coverages/qualifications are different. Maybe that can help?

Ok, so I've Bern sick for a while and was started on antibiotics. A couple of hours ago I threw up this yellowish stuff that tasted really funny. I do have acid reflux disease that seemed to get much worse when I started the amoxicillan(sp?) I haven't had a flare up in my acid like this in a long time. I also had small white spots in my stool today. I was looking up bile reflux online and wondering if I may have that besides acid reflux because on a few occasions in the past lots of bile was found in CT scans. I was wondering if my digestive system is what's giving me that God awful rectal pain??? But I seem to only have that pain while on my period. Could this be endo related? I'm starting yo doubt its even endo. HELP! What should I do? I don't feel well.
