:) Jessica - Hi! Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!! It is so exciting to see the results of our efforts & diligence with the gluten-free diet, isn't it? Makes getting through the cravings and avoidance a little easier. In the last year I have really noticed a switch in how I am around regular foods (i.e.: pizza, spaghetti...) it's wild that just the thought of eating them actually makes me feel sick - that has totally helped in the avoidance of such foods! Also the fact that our middle daughter was diagnosed last year and now our household is 90% gluten-free!! :P

Be very proud of yourself on this anniversary - it's a lot to deal with and a massive life change for us, but like you said it's soooo worth it for better health and well-being! Take care & have a great New Year!

      Please explain more about the tests you took. What type of blood test was it? Which company offered the test? Also, there is no hair test for celiac disease--what was that test? Also, for your GP to test you for celiac disease you must keep eating gluten daily, and lots of it. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      @Kjmanchester, going on a gluten free diet before the GP has had a chance to run the blood tests for celiac disease will likely invalidate the results of the tests. Hair sample tests for gluten disorders are not recognized as reliable diagnostic methods. Can you supply a link to the "pin prick" test you got from Amazon? The fact that your symptoms have improved since removing gluten from your diet indicates that you either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. But since you have already started the gluten-free diet, as I already explained, your testing for celiac disease will likely not be accurate. For it to be accurate you would need to restart gluten and be eating generous amounts of it for several weeks before the test blood draw.

      I'm newly diagnosed  bought a test from Amazon it was a pin prick for blood showed positive ? So I decided to send my hair sample off that came back 100% all types that contain gluten ! So asked my Gp for a blood test to confirm ? I have been waiting over 3 weeks for this test to come back.. since hair test I have cut out anything with gluten in, and my rash is disappearing and toilet is more firm as before it was like pouring water down the loo.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻
