I was diagnosed in January of 2004 but I was sick 2 years prior to that. I have been gluten free about 16 months

I figured it out in 2003, but I don't have many symptoms and I don't think I had it as a child....

Diagnosed in Feb. 2004, so I've been gluten-free for about 14 months...... I've had celiac disease much longer.

So I was diagnosed when I was 20 montsh old in 1992 so that would be 13 years+ Long time:)

[yllehs91]

Diagnosed 9/27/04 but had a few symptoms ever since i was about 3 or so...all the docs said I'd grow out of it....ha--sure

I am almost 18, have been gluten-free since I was 9.

The funny thing is that I always think about the last gluten thing I ate intentionally when I think about how long I have been gluten-free. I was in fourth grade. I ate some animal crackers. Never again did I intentionally eat gluten. What a lame thing to end my gluten-filled life with huh?

[MySuicidalTurtle]

I have always had Celiac Disease.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago, though.

I know I'm not a teenager, but I was diagnosed in November of 1997, right in the middle of college.

[DoctorDave]

OK, I'm not a teenager either. Does it count, when you look like one??? (hugs to all the baby-faces out there) I'm kind of self-diagnosed. My doc still doesn't really believe it. He's like: 'Ok, you're blood-levels were just slightly elevated and didn't show much and you had no biopsy. But, heck, if you feel better... just do what you want...and when you feel bad come back'. Other than the "Amstel light"-mistake I never felt bad again . So this "diagnosis" I got 07/21/04. But I suffered really severe for 7 years until anything came out. I also think, I had it all my life, but not as severe.
