Hmm...

So I've been making phone calls like it's my job. I had to call the doctor a few times (they're pawning me off to a dietitian), call the dietitian, call the insurance a bunch of times, and then call the dietitian back to cancel the appointment, after a bunch of phone calls to find the number again after losing it. Why? Because a dietetic consult is not covered under my diagnosis. They will cover it for diabetes and that's all. Even though my condition is solely managed by dietary intervention, it's not covered. I didn't really feel the need to meet with a dietitian in the first place, but what about all the other people just being diagnosed with Celiac? Hmm... guess I'll just keep going it alone.

Another thing- I'm wondering if I'm still anemic. I'm wondering if that is why I don't feel much better. Unfortunately, the doctor just put me on some Prevacid because he thinks that my weird abdominal pain/swallowing issues are acid-related. Low acid makes it even harder to absorb iron, so I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. Maybe I should just ask my family doc to check my hemoglobin. Hmm...
