Dan that is very interesting, I wouldn't have thought of it. Its also been recommended I have them test for H Pylori

She had both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. It was negative for celiac sprue. They have not done any fecal tests - I asked about it at they said the scope is a better indicator. I will ask them to do one anyway. She says shes been writing down what she eats though I am not hounding her about...

Well I just got notice that all of her biopsies were fine. I'm not sure if I'm happy or not - I just want to know what's wrong! Next thing they want to do is a HIDA scan for her gallbladder and if that is fine they said they will treat her for IBS. I'm not sure how I feel about treating for...

no inflammation visible but they took a bunch of biopsies and we should have those results this week. keeping my fingers croased

Interesting, I've never heard of that - hes had a couple migraines over the last few years but they've been stress triggered (during school finals). The GI is going to scope her on Friday so keeping my fingers crossed for something....anything!

Minnesotacare takes into account your income. you are right I've never heard of anything like it in MN but I definitely will look around

Oh that is great to know! I will have to check into it :)

I make too much money for any kind of assistance :(

I just checked, Mayo is out of network. Looks like U of MN childrens is too. Almost everyone listed for GI that is in network is MNGI and those that aren't there don't do pediatrics. I'd love to know your issues with MNGI. If we dont get some answers there I may have to go to Mayo or...

Ugh, unfortunately her insurance is Tricare (military) so we are limited as to where we go :(

Just thought I'd give everyone an update - Thursday night she had a sharp stabbing pain in her abdomen within an hour of eating and vomited from the pain and nausea. I took her to the ER where we waited 2 1/2 hours for someone to see her which by that time she was doing better. They gave her...

Yes but its not gynecological, we were at a gyno last fall - after discussing her symptoms she literately said it wasn't gynecological that is was digestive and to take more probiotics and sent us on our way :(

She says is pretty much always there though its worse after she eats/drinks. There seems to be a bit of a delay after she eats before she feels nauseated and the pain gets worse, the length of time is proportionate to the amount she eats. The pain is in the same area - she's said its an 8 1/2...

No fever, she didn't have a gyno exam this time though she has in the past when she has had this pain. I don't have the test results in front of me but I know they said everything was normal. Her Dr doesn't know what's going on- every doc we have seen just says to wait for the GI appt. We are...

Thank you, me too

No, her GI appointment isn't until the 24th

Yes I took her to children's hospital

Wave been to the ER and they didn't call a GI though if we have to go back I will insist on it

Thanks all, its awesome knowing you guys understand!

She does occasionally use a heating pad. I called the GI twice already today and they still don't have cancellations so I asked if they have "emergency" services and they suggested I get her GP to call them. Of course her GP is on vacation but I gave the message to a nurse who was going to get...
