Ok Testing Options?

Hey

I'm going to a new gp this month. Previously I'd said I wouldn't do a gluten challenge as hey, it hurts! and I'd rather not go through that and I /know/ when I've been 'had'.

On the other hand..It turns out revenue will cover part of the cost of gluten free food...and as we all have to eat on a daily basis, that adds up.

I'm going to see if I can get a diagnosis without tests, as I've been gluten free for 6 months now, which is long enough I believe for most tests to be negative?

But just in case....What are my options? Blood tests? genetic tests? tubes down my gullet?

Cheers!

Melusine

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      It needs to be said that 50k IU daily is certainly safe for correcting vitamin D deficiency when used for a limited amount of time, for a few months maybe, as was the case in the two studies linked by knitty kitty. But it would not likely be a safe dosage when used for an indefinite period of time.

      It's much easier to correct low Vitamin D if you take high doses. It's safe and health improvement is much faster. This is how I corrected my severely low Vitamin D level.

      I have had low Vit D for years before my Celiac diagnosis. I recommend Nature Made, it’s everywhere. GET THE TABLET, not the oil based capsule. The soy oil in the capsules give me diarrhea!
