Hello, @Whyz,

You're in the "hurry up and wait"  part of diagnosis.  The anxiety can be hard to deal with.  Do you have a hobby?  I like knitting.  Watching suspense movies (Alfred Hitchcock movies are a favorite) helps focus that anxiety which gets resolved by the end of the movie, a temporary relief, but helpful.

I have a small hernia, which won't get any attention, too.  Not to worry.  Mine hasn't been an issue for years.  Don't worry.  You'll be fine.  The tribe here understands.  Sending {{{hugs}}}

I want to start baking gluten free bread, cakes pies ,etc a bit scared in case it goes pear shaped. Don’t know whether to get a bread machine.

any help recipes links I would appreciate.

If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
