All Katymac's health crap in one place

[KatyMac]

OK

I saw a Gastro guy tonight who:

Doesn't think I should be Gluten free

Isn't worried about my folic acid or B12

Wants to do a CAT scan of my tummy as although there is nothing significant my symptoms don't add up

Thinks the chemicals in food (esp Gluten free food) are intrinsically bad

My GP thinks:

Non-coeliac gluten intolerance

I need loads of Folic Acid & maybe B12 as it's a bit borderline & it won't hurt

My Ulcer consultant think:

I just get ulcers

get on with it

I'm just pissed off (especially as the Gastro guy poked my tummy and now it really hurts)

I think I'll ask the Surgery what my results were in 2011 - with 2 lowish results I think the GP will have to listen to me?

OK massive attack of health anxiety;

The doctor won't believe me
He won't prescribe what I think I need
He will revert to the diagnosis of depression & stop looking at my health as a whole

It's almost borderline paranoia (which tbh I haven't had since DD was so ill)

Bugger! I can do this - mind you it wasn't helped by the next appointment with my GP being 19th May

oh no! sorry, missed this update! can you just sort out the vitamin deficiencies yourself? i do that for my iron n vit d- no injections tho i suppose for me. and private blood tests every now and then to check?

Oh I was depressed that night

I'm not sure what I'm going to do tbh - I started a thread

But I'm still no wiser
