Great to see an article in a mainstream paper !!

I emailed Dr. Mitchell thanking him for the article and explaining that over a 3 year period I had 4 Drs. (including a GI) label my symptoms as IBS and a result of stress/depression. After being being sick of feeling sick, I did research on the web - asked my Dr. for a celiac disease panel and was confirmed a celiac disease with an endoscopy. I also mentioned that many people with celiac disease have other auto immune disorders. (I'm in the process of trying to figure out why I am still ill after 1 year of being gluten-free)...so a gluten-free diet isn't always the only answer.

I asked him to please continue to talk about celiac disease in his articles - as this is a very common disease that needs more attention and awareness.

I encourage all of you to email him - if you click on the article - there's an easy link to "contact us"..and send a note to him...

I've decided to start emailing papers, medical talk shows, news media, etc, to try to bring more awareness to this disease.

take care -

Mary

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
