I just want to say thank you to Momma Goose and all the others that replied to my initial message two weeks ago.

After reading what you all wrote I visited another Dr. for a 2nd opinion as my 1st seemed slightly confused. This Dr. was still a little reluctant to run the blood test for Celiac but after some gentle nudging she did.....and what do you know.....positive!

I would not have sought out another opinion had it not been for those who wrote to me and who knows how long it may have been before being properly diagnosed.

so.....THANK YOU!

You have discovered what many of us on this board know...that MG (Lisa) is extremely wonderful and helpful. She does a wonderful job on this board!

I am so happy that you took the information you learned here and were tested. So many people are undiagnosed for so long, so I'm happy that you shortened the time for yourself. Good for you!!!!!

Be sure to stick around!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm sure that I'll have numerous questions as I'm just a "babe" in the woods!

My Dr. is now referring me to a GI specialist, to go over the blood test results and move on to the "next step>" I imagine you can easily give me a clue as to what those next steps might include.

I'd like to be prepared a bit before I go to the appt. In the meantime, where do I begin? As in learning what is a truly gluten-free diet. There seems to be so much information out there that it's a bit mind boggling!

I'd surely appreciate your help in figuring this out! Again, I say thank you! I was beginning to wonder if I was imaging all this.

Blessings, Kari

Don't go gluten-free yet. It is likely your GI will want to do an endoscopy to confirm the blood test through biopsy and see how much damage has been done. Going off the gluten before this can skew the results. Now is a good time to start learning about the gluten-free lifestyle. Maybe select and order some books from Amazon, do a little research to find restaurants in your area that offer a gluten-free menu, start looking at food labels in your local grocery store to familiarize yourself with what to look for. All this will help when the time comes to go gluten-free.

I went gluten free 3 months before I had anything done and all test and bioposis are negative and all my symptoms went away, If I knew then what I know now I would not have gotten tested. I guess I am one of those people who wants and needs a dx for me to get totally Gluten free, right now I am gluten-free but not toatally, but I watch what I eat and avoid the foods that trigger the D.

My sister has been gluten free for three years now. It used to be that I felt bad for her while I would have cramps much more often than any guy my age (I'm turning 20). Turns out, I too am a celiac and this is my first messageboard. I go to Quinnipiac University and live in southeast Florida, if anybody wants to talk you can email me, I'm just glad to find a community.

Welcome Vince:

This is #2 post and I will have to catch your # 1. Just got back home. This site is a really good place to fall and a good place to recover. We have alot of really cool, knowledgeable folks here who kindly give their time to "newbies".

Why don't you start a new thread and tell us about yourself and any question that you may have.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
