So my doctor called me today and said that he wanted to have some emergency tests done on me tomorrow because my stomach issues have gotten soo much worse in the last week. I've really been having a lot of medical issues lately- severe GERD, IBS, Hiatial Hernia, Lactose Intolerence, and a possible gluten allergy...it's gotten to the point where literally everything i eat, everything, makes me very very sick. They did a colonoscopy, upper GI scop, Bravo PH monitor, CT scan, Diabetes test, and a few other tests back in April and Early August. They decided this week that since i'm still having soo many stomach issues that they will do a Gastric Emptying test on me tomorrow and a test for Celiac Disease. The Gastric Emptying Study can take several hours...and the Celiac (sp?) test is just a few blood tests- but if i do have the celiac disease....it will mean i'm allergic to Gluetin for sure...and gluetin is literally in almost every food
. So it will be really hard to shop for food, but i'll adjust if that's what it is. / I'm really nervous about tomorrow- i've felt like a gueni pig for the past 2 yrs.
I'm really scared
. I've been tested for soo much lately, and i just feel like i'm way too young to have soo many stomach issues
(i just turned 21 in July). So if anyone has any vibes to spare- they'd be very much appreciated!
This is a link that explaines what a gastric emptying study involves....it's about the only info i've gotten today aside from not eating or drinking after midnight.
