Edgymama's Gluten Free Journey

I want to encourage you that it's perfectly possible to follow a strict gluten free diet even without a celiac diagnosis. Is your doctor willing to formally diagnose you with non-celiac gluten sensitivity based on your dietary results?

I didn't even see a GI I saw the nurse practitioner at the GI office. So I just got results over the phone and that was that. I do a follow up with my primary doctor tomorrow though to check on status of my lexapro they put me on for anxiety so will bring up to her, I also will ask for a print out of my lab results! I plan to follow the no gluten as even my husband said how much better I was without it! Luckily I don't travel a lot or anything like that so bringing my own food places won't be an issue.

and thank you so much for the reply :)

edgymama, did you go gluten free prior to your test?

You and your doctor may have long since covered this, but if you go gluten free for a certain amount of time your test for celiac can come back negative because your body isn't showing a reaction to the gluten at the time. Basically, you can show that you don't have celiac when you sometimes do.
