Ignore this thread. I was trying to do a poll and got it all messed up. I'll try redoing it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Nancy

Nancy,

I didn't answer any questions as I didn't see any that applied to me.

I was tested by enterolab after being very gluten lite for 1 1/2 months. My regular doctor would have tested me but I felt it was a mute point after that length of time.

Since I have a celiac gene I would generally say I have celiac but the very beginnings of it, before damage was done. My son tested positive through enterolab and has 2 celiac genes so he's really the only one we could truly say has celiac, although he was just over the cutoff. Maybe we should all say we are gluten intolerant since we didn't have the damage yet. :unsure:

Good idea for the poll though. :)

I forgot about Enterolab. Doh! I added that as an option. Thanks for reminding me.

Nancy, because you changed it, my vote doesn't show up any more, and it says I already voted and won't let me vote again.

I voted that I self-diagnosed, my doctor (I believe) put into my chart that I have celiac disease, and I tell people I have celiac disease, because otherwise my family wouldn't take me seriously.

Crud. Same here. I think it got messed up. I'll erase this one and redo it tomorrow. I'm heading to bed right now. I'm not even seeing the votes I put in.

Sorry folks! Check for a new poll/post tomorrow.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
