Did you have your GI appt yesterday?  Or is it next Thurs?  If yesterday, how did it go?  What all did they do?  

I have mine on Monday afternoon.  What questions do you/did you plan to ask?

No, I get it done Thursday and I actually don't know if they'll do the test the same day or if it's just an office visit to talk about my problems.

I found this on the celiac.org website about the type of tests they should do:

I plan on asking the doctor about getting the test, my symptoms- I have been eating a regular old diet this week, just in case I needed to be on gluten for the test and MAN, do I feel like crap and other possible causes, I suppose. I have a gut feeling (no pun intended) that I really do have something gluten related, just because of my physical symptoms. I am a little nervous b/c it's a small town/small office and I hope they have the experience necessary to recognize and diagnose Celiac/gluten intolerance and not write it off as silly, kwim? I guess I just have to keep pushing because I KNOW something isn't right with my body, wether it's fertility related or not...

Please keep me posted about your apt and how it went! If you can think of any other questions let me know as well

Oh - okay.  I'm going in tomorrow, so I'll let you know what they do.  Thanks for sending that link too.  I hope they do the testing tomorrow instead of just an office visit b/c I want answers now!  I've been eating a regular diet too, so we'll see how it goes.

I hope your appt goes well!  It's good you've been doing the research on your own, so you can double check that your doc does the appropriate tests. 

 I also have a feeling something is wrong too.  I was diagnosed with Irritible Bowel Syndrome in the past and the symptoms seem very similar.

Good luck with your visit!
