And the Doctor says...

Hello all!

So I went to the doctor today. While no issues were readily found; the doctor (whom I liked very much) has had me tested for Celiac Disease. This was done via blood test. She wants to test for this as many of the symptoms of said disease I have. So while nobody knows IF I have it, it is worth finding out if I DO have it.

So the blood test will test:
Celiac Disease testing (do I have it?)
Thyroid levels (high? low? extra sassy?)
Diabetes (although the doctor said she HIGHLY doubts I have diabetes she tested for it)
Anemia (a symptom of Celiac Disease; also a good thing to know if I have)
Other tests I don’t remember. I’ll dig out the test sheet should anyone really be curious.

She also has instructed me to go to a colon specialist to make sure that is all running ok (har har). I will say I hope I DO NOT have this Celiac Disease; I LOVE pancakes, sandwich breads, pastries, pasta, BEER, etc. Ah well, at least I can still eat rice if I have it! Bwana, can I come over to your country of residence for some rice treatment? :)

Forgive my abundant use of parenthetical statements.

I’ll keep you all up to date!

Beyotch, you are welcome over here any time you can come.

I will even make you The Special Rice.

Celiac's doesn't sound fun, but who the hell needs Tricale anyway?

You make this description sound so twelve-sided.
