Bloodwork Negative, Still Welcome?

Hi All,

Not sure if I am still "allowed" to be here, my Dr. just let me know that my Bloodwork that he did came back negative, but that I should stay gluten-free since it is helping with my symptoms... I am not sure if is 100% sure that I don't have celiac since i guess the tests aren't 100% accurate and can do a false negative fairly commonly?

Am I still welcome even tho i don't have a "Medical Diagnosis of Celiac"?

Of course you are welcome, there are many folks here who are following a gluten free diet and do not have a "medical diagnosis". It isn't required to be here! :lol: Nobody checks your "gluten ID" at the door.

Absolutely! Many of us are not formally diagnosed! (My blood work was "inconclusive" at best!)

I am going to talk to my Dr. about my son...and see if his Dr. wants to test him for celiac... he is only 3' 3 and weighs 34 pounds at age 6

thanks!

Please stick around Maya!!! Just because you don't have an "official" dx doesn't mean you aren't Gluten Intolerant. A lot of people are!

Hi Maya -

What everyone above me said! :)

I didn't even have officially positive test results from EnteroLab but I get sick as a dog from gluten so it's worth my while to stick to it.

Stick around! This envirnoment totally helps people to feel better and more in charge of their lives.

      Ibuprofen

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof. I think it was from eggs. I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them. I was defient in B12. My heart is pounding and it won't stop. Not sure what to do. I don't have much support other than this forum. Colleen

      Manitol and mri

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
