Gluten/Celiac

All I can say is... I will never look at ziplocs the same way again...

I've been having digestive issues for a very long time. Really as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed in 1999 with IBS, and just kind of lived with the fact that I wasn't normal in the poop dept. A few weeks ago I had my thyroid labs run, something I have done yearly because I have a thyroid condition (hashimoto's, which is a hypothyroid autoimmune disease) well I have a new Dr. and she ran a different kind of thyroid panel and one of the tests that came back was an immunoglobin thyroid test that indicated I have an allergy to gluten, wheat, yea pretty much everything I eat on a daily basis...

Well the Dr. had me do a poop test. I had to send away for a poop collection kit and use it. Hence the ziploc. I had to double ziploc the container, and freeze it. Then send it overnight via UPS to Dallas for the tests. It's hot here. It's hotter in Dallas. I hope it makes it there without thawing.

I will know in a couple of weeks what the results are. They will be testing for gluten, dairy and a slew of other things.
