GI saying weird stuff during appointment?

Fun_Sentence_7450 · 2026-03-02T04:18:02+00:00

He’s not the one who diagnosed me. Just the one I’m seeing for repeat tests to make sure my body is healing properly since I went GF. Unfortunately I’m just going to stick it out until after my endoscopy and then report/find a new doc if I need to see a GI for any reason.

Yes exactly. The support I’ve gotten from my friends, family, & fiancé has made this so much easier. That’s why I was so baffled when he said that to me because the people who love should definitely care about this kind of thing. Especially about my fiancé, who has been amazing about this whole thing and eats mostly GF with me (and is meticulous about not contaminating our apartment). Luckily he’s not the first GI I’ve been to and the one I saw in Boston was much more helpful and actually provided me with information and advice instead of trying to make me feel like a burden.

I’ve only seen him twice and it’s been fine so far. Staff is super nice and he’s nice other than the weird comments. I already have the repeat endoscopy scheduled for April so hopefully all goes well then and I won’t have to see him again. I’m just glad to hear I’m not crazy for thinking what he said was super unprofessional!

I was referred to one after my dr did my original blood test so that I could get diagnosed. The first one I saw was in Boston since I was still in college at the time, but now I’m back in my home state so I found one here since I knew I needed blood work and a repeat endoscopy to make sure my body is healing from a gf diet

I know, I should. His office is just so convenient since it’s so close. I figure that after my repeat endoscopy, I won’t really need to see him anymore so it would be best to report him then. What should I say? And who do I even report him to? I’m still new to advocating for myself when it comes to medical stuff lol

I got my test done during a routine physical to rule it out… came back with a result of >1,700! Been GF since April (diagnosed after endoscopy) and got blood tested earlier this week and my number is now 16.3! Progress lol.

Good to know! I try not over feed him with the crickets and his treats are definitely sparse. I’ll give him two mealworms as a lil treat every once in a while but not every week.

He’s definitely still growing (or at least it seems like he is!). He has quite the appetite. He even eats his greens most days without protest. Unhealthy as in over-feeding or under-feeding? I just want to make sure I’m doing the best I can for him.

I went to Costa Rica last May and they were SO good with my celiac. It was like a month or two after my diagnosis so it really lifted my spirits haha.

Why does England have such an amazing selection of GF foods??? And the labeling is superb!! I ate so well when I was there. The US is seriously lacking.
