Hiya Harry,
The biopsy results should come back this week but from what they could see with the scope everything looked normal. As you can imagine I am really pleased about this but as I still have the watery exploding stools I feel I am no further on.
As I have an auto immune thyroid disorder, they are looking into the possibility of it being a food intolerance. The Dr said that I may not have coeliacs but that doesnt mean that I can tolerate gluten or wheat. They want me to try an elimination diet and to introduce foods gradually to see if it triggers a response.
Hope you are feeling ok and are having a good weekend
take care

Oh Daisy... you're welcome for the bit I helped with. Hope you figure out the source of the problem. Wheat can apparently be an issue for many people, even without full-blown celiac disease. My homeopath suggested I drastically reduce my consumption, but that would be too hard for me. I like wheat products and lack the discipline it takes to replace them with something else. As long as I don't suffer terribly, I'll be having shredded wheat for brekkie... lol.

I will miss my bagels for brekkie midwest1 but I know what you mean about the discipline thing. I am gonna give up the ciggies too lol may as well get all the suffering out of the way in one go.
