- my liver is fine
- there's no evidence i have an autoimmune disorder
- there's no evidence i have a parasite
the tests are quick to point out that that doesn't necessarily mean i can rule these things out.
i also set a phone appointment with the stomach specialist for the end of april, and i have to assume he's going to ask for a stool sample. i will provide this to be sure, but i think i've already ruled this out. i'm going to send him a fax with the shit blog link, i think.
fwiw, after an initial bout of diarrhea, my shit has actually solidified dramatically since starting taking the iron. but, i've also been drinking less water and i suspect that's really what the mushy shit was about.
so, after dozens of tests, it seems like there's nothing wrong with me except an iron deficiency....but we'll take the next steps with the doctors to clarify the point.
