Opinions and experience? I'm stuck

have you had your blood sugar checked, thats the only way to tell if your hypo. I have learnt the feeling of when im hypo, and matched it with glucose readings

I've got an appointment for a gastroenterologist coming up in a week, and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it. Right now:
Stools are fatty and burning, but not runny or liquid
I'm still having cramps, not stomach but gut/intestinal
I'm really thinking I'm coming closer to figuring this out.

The latest blood work following a couple days of pale stools came back..normal I suppose, that is unless I'm really missing something. Usually issues with the liver come back showing a high AST ad ALT..mine were actually pretty low. I've read this too can indicate issues. My ALK Phos was also a little high, as was CO2 again.
Alk Phos: 128 (35-123)

AST: 6 (7-31)

ALT: 2 (5-30)

My liver enzymes usually look like this:
Alkaline Phosphatase 77 (32-122)

ALT 21 (0-55)

AST 23 (12-42)


I just don't get it. Maybe its nothing, but these numbers accompanied by my symptoms..I just don't know. I'm going in to see a GE May 6th, who will hopefully shine some more light on this.

Anyone on this?

Yes. Do you food with gluten? Ever tried gluten free diet. Celiac diease can cause stools to be yellow.

I eat a shit ton of wheat. Standard American diet I suppose. Are the liver enzymes of concern?

 

[TrekB]

I'm no Dr but what you described has many characteristics of Celaic. I can't comment on liver enzymes. Try cutting back on gluten and see if there is a change. It is a simple test...tough to stick with.

I can just ask the GE to do a TTG antibody for gluten in a week..to know for sure.
