has any idea who I am...and all seem so caring here, I'd like to let you all know, I've been diagnosed Celiac through the blood test, the gastro, who was in anyway to do a bile duct snip, didn't bother to do the exam I asked for...so I just tried the diet, only to find that when I was exposed, those old joint pains and swellings, and constipation returned ten fold!

A year later, I had my daughter tested, from 6 up she took Ballet classes, and had such an extended tummy, thin hair, nails...I asked the HMO Doc. for a blood test. Negative...she decided to try the Gluten Free Diet and found her intestinal system to work much better, and the bloating of her stomach to go down significantly.

So we both have been on a Gluten Free diet for years now. I was just reading about co-enzyme B vitimans..I've taken my B100's for years, gluten-free just by chance (for so long I'd see that on the bottle and wonder) I think I may switch myself and get my daughter, who I've recently been working with her to take B complex..she has anxiety problems and such that I thought it may help..from what I've read here, all of you have confirmed my concerns...Thank You...Wish I'd known how to use a live stream before, I'd been here years ago...been going it alone for so long. Thanks To All for All your Wonderful Information!!! Dawnw007

HI Dawn I am new to

I Thank each and everyone, So Much, for all the kind replys! This is the definition of what community truly can be!!! If all the world were so accepting and kind, it would be a better place, yet this sort of kindness starts in the the most surprising places, like here. I feel it is hard to find true community of any kind on line, here I see it every day! It is important to acknowledge the kindnesses we receive and give in life. They are a lot of what keeps us going day to day, knowing we have our sometimes few, yet every one makes a difference, True Communities in this fast changing society!

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      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.

      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.
