How Long Have U Had Celiac?

[Daughter-of-TheLight]

I had my diagnosis about a month ago, though we suspected it for three months or so. I say i've probably had it my entire life, seeing the symtoms. *sigh*

I was diagnosed 5 months ago. Is there any way to tell how long you had celiac before a diagnosis? I’ve always felt sick after eating as far back as I can remember, and looking back on it had many of the other symptoms too. Makes you wonder how long it was affecting me before diagnosis.

I do not think there is anyway to determine how long you had celiac disease before a diagnosis.  You can guess based on symptoms but remember than some celiacs are asymptomatic.  The important thing is to recover from celiac disease by adhering to a strict gluten free diet.  ?

6 years but I suspect I had it since childhood I had constant stomachache and threw up a lot. It just took being admitted to the ER to finally get diagnosed

Hi!  New here. 😃

I've been living with Celiac for about a year now.  It's amazing how much better I feel!
