@loribmt which specialist does one have to see to investigate a blocked celiac artery? A year ago I was referred to a gastroenterologist who tested me for celiac disease and nothing showed up with that test. Can’t remember if it was a blood or stool test.

I didn’t realize the limitations for getting further testing in Canada. That has to incredibly frustrating when you’re the one feeling awful and would like to know the answer!

Celiac disease is completely different than a blocked celiac artery.
A cardiologist, vascular surgeon or Interventional Radiologist would be the person to see to investigate a blocked Celiac artery. It’s not common and there are other arteries feeding the intestinal tract. So that’s not generally the first route to take when looking for digestive tract issues.

What did your doctor say about the mysterious bulge above your hip bone? Is it tender?
