I am a single South African recently diagnosed with celiac disease. It actually came as a relief to finally know I had celiac disease. I spent 2 months going from doctors to hospitals looking for a diagnosis of what was wrong with me. I can't even tell you about all the blood tests , thyroid tests, diabetic tests, a CT scan and still no idea of what was wrong. Finally a pharmacist using his diagnostic machine identified the area of the problem and checked the symptoms.
