I wont post here anymore, but I read the replies and wanted to respond one last time. It was not my intention to offend anyone in anyway. I genuinely apologize if I did. My symptoms are real, and I certainly wasn't playing any sort of 'prank'. Im unsure what the 'prank' would be? I am a good person ...

Great news, the result came back as 'normal colon'.

I am obviously very relieved. I will have to continue to work with my Doctors to find out why Ive been so ill, but this is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and advice!

Already tested negative for Celiac

Thanks for the well wishes, and Ill update with the results.

Yes probably 5+ times as lots of my symptoms overlap.

Im actually just recently starting on meds for depression. Depression has never been a main focul part of my li...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I will try to address everyones response as I have nothing better to do bc I cant move from bed. First I wanna talk about what happened yesterday, as it was very scary. Yesterday morning I began getting very confused and felt like passing out. I knew where I was, b...

Wow. That was an incredibly thoughtful and insightful reply. I truly appreciate that. I am a non-smoker and it was the Roche test. In fairness it was within the normal range listed for LabCorp. However, I did see a study where 97% of "healthy" people will have a CEA of <2.5. Maybe that was...
