About Me

2004 - milk intolerance
2005 - diagnosed IBS
2006 - GI refused to investigate, said the procedure to check my stomach was quite uncomfortable and told me it was a waste of time as I was just suffering from stress, I went away with my tail between my legs, he really made me feel like a fool.
2009 - symptoms so bad I had to stop work - diagnosed with Anxiety???!!!
2010 - elimination diet...wheat caused swollen tongue, sore throat, mild cough, dry mouth, increased thirst, teeth/jaw knumbness, difficulty breathing, light-headed, face pain, sinusitus, light/sound sensitivity, joint pain, stiffness, pins and needles, stomach tightness & related tummy problems, low-stamina, muscle-weakness, cold extremities, balance issues, depression, un-clear thinking, difficulty walking and feeling spaced-out.
2011 - taking Celiac blood test after 4 weeks eating gluten, my boyfriend doesn't care if the test is negative, he's seen the difference in me when I'm wheat free and will support my decision to remain wheat free, he is a blessing...I love you very much Dan

Will My Friends And Family Believe Me...

Hi Guys, I'm Deanna from the UK and have a question for you

I am 100% sure that I have a problem with wheat, but I am nervous that my Celiac blood test will come back negative, although I know from experience that I will need to avoid gluten, I am worried about how I explain to my family that I can't eat wheat etc when they ask me 'are you a Celiac?' and I have to say 'no, I'm not'.

Has anybody had a negative blood test and had difficulties with family thinking that 'it's all in your mind, there's nothing wrong with you...just eat food, you're attention seeking, making a mountain out of a molehill' etc?

I am pretty sure that I'm am just having the blood test so that I can hand my family a doctors note with the proof on it arghhhh!

Many thanks for contributing to this wonderful site btw, you've been a great help to me already and I can see you help many others too.

P.S. Much to my dismay the blood test results for Anemia will take only 1 week, the results for Celiac...8 Weeks! Shocking!
