Hi Everyone, I'm looking to hear from anyone whose life/relationships have been damaged because of non-diagnosis (or diagnosis too late). Unfortunatly I have experienced this and I imagine I am not alone.

Yes, I won't put my whole sad story here. I was such a bad tempered b. My poor kids, my poor husband. He is not the most nuturing type. When ever I was sick, somehow he was sicker. My illness really hurt our sex life. I was sick for about 30 years and married for about 14 of them. Now I am healthy again, but my marriage is still suffering the after effects. Life goes on.

Thank you for writing. I am so glad you are healthy again. I am gettting there. It is amazing. I am currently separated with a 16 month old - pregnancy (though then undiadnosed for 20 years/life) put celiac into high gear. I am not sure what is going to happen and just take things day by day. I would be sadder if I did not feel so awesome and healthier than I ever have. I hope your family heals just as you are/have. I hope more people get diagnosed sooner. With all the gluten-free menus out there now I hope that starts getting this more out in the public. Yep, life goes on. :)

I can relate. For years I didn't want to go anywhere as I just felt bad. If I went to family event and after eating a meal I would be exhausted and unsocial and would leave early. We started taking separate vehicles to theses events. My marriage has suffered.

But life goes on...........

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
