Well it looks like kidney scare.....

MIGHT be a false alarm. Went to see the Nephrologist last week, Creatine was high in my labs, but nothing else supports possible kidney problems. Ultra sound was normal. The thought is possibly the extra Creatine is coming from the extra Protein suppliments I am taking in, So Nessa might have hit it on the head, sort of.  Past few months I have been doing lessof the shakes and been eating a lot of Zone perfect bars. Dr Lahn wants me to back off the bars for two weeks and redo labs, again.. The high levels of Creatine was messing with other labs suggesting the Anemia. Which at this time looks to be a false positive.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

oh I hope it's nothing serious... best of luck with that Tom!

Thanks Nessa,,, You're looking great!!!!

Wow I am glad you don't have anemia. Hopefully laying off the bars will get your creatinine level back to normal.  Try to work on getting your bulk of protein from foods instead.

Take care and keep us posted.

OK now I am at loss,,, Creatine is still up,,, Anemia seems to still be a concern. Had a CT that showed a "distended Bowel" have a endoscopy and Colonoscopy scheduled for Feb, (oh fun) I don't get it,, I feel fine, (other than freezing) no blood in stool, Primary does not want to add Iron until all else is ruled out. Good thing I have good insurance.. Have an appt with Dr A next week, getting back to see Nepthrolgist, as soon as rest of tests are done. How much of this crap is from my RNY? THIS SUCKS. A google search says stress can contribute to the distended bowel,, but good luck on getting rid of stress.

Thanks for the vent.
