Negative Blood Test...

I got my blood test results today and they were negative. I found myself being slighty disappointed, even though I am 99.9% sure that gluten is the problem. Did anybody else feel like that? I plan to go gluten free next week, but just needed a hug or something. Hopefully, this doesn't sound too silly.

From what I understand, blood tests are not conclusive, so you are right to try the diet anyway. Be sure to give it time, too. Have you considered endoscopy? Whatever you do, I hope you feel better soon!

If you want more conclusive answers and numbers you could always look into enterolab. Click Open Original Shared Link for there website.

You could also just go gluten free, depends on what you are looking for.

Thank you both! The medical system here in Sweden won't do an endoscopy if the blood work wasn't positive. Enterolab is also "out" because I live over here. I think the diet is probably just the smartest thing to do. However, I'm just feeling a bit down at the moment. That'll change soon, hopefully! Thanks again!

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...
