never reaching a point where you feel good enough to start testing any foods, or know what your "glutened" symptoms are :(

The absolutely astounding lack of knowledge and coordination among practitioners in the medical community.

Getting a diagnosis. All my specialists, my kids GI (who is a world renowned celiac specialist) and my GP all agree that I couldn't not have celiac, but because of the stupid rules on diag here I can't be diagnosed!! I hate that, drives me insane. Because when I'm in hospital and stuff its all like "I need gluten free" blah blah "haven't got an official diag...blah blah" and then their faces glaze over and they get that look in their eyes like a "we are dealing with one of *them* " looks and then I have to worry about wether they are going to take my gluten-free request seriously and am scared to eat the whole time. Arrrghhhh!

I have a really bad affliction, I can't lie...or even fib ever, my mother thought it was the best thing ever when I was a teenager - she knew about everything at all times!!

Chad, your last comment made me chuckle. :) For me, it is the lack of spontaneity. I am a real foodie and I miss walking through the city I live in exploring new restaurants without having a care.

The smell of Wetzel's Pretzels. I've never eaten there but I like to stand in front of them for a few minutes and imagine tasting whatever that scent is.

That we can't even trust the "gluten free" options at most restaurants. Well meaning friends say, "such and such a place has gluten free pizza now!" Not a chance my super-sensitive celiac husband could eat it safely. Stupid cross-contamination.

Pseudo-Celiacs

Hate that! I just had an argument with someone today who says that her whole family has coeliac but none of them has been tested (along with a myriad of other medical complaints)- then she tells people on the internet just to go gluten free without testing. Drives me mad. Its like she wants her family to be coeliac. Whereas my family have been in sickness hell for years with two sick children in and out of hospitals and heaps of tests, borderline results. A) I would never dream of just deciding its Coeliac (although I think it is) and B) I would never tell anyone not to get tested. What if its something else? Something worse that is making the kids sick???

But what if it is gluten intolerance and you can make them better just by not giving them gluten? I would never tell someone not to get tested, but I would never tell someone to poison their child just for the sake of a stupid test which might not be accurate and which may not mean that it is not gluten that is the problem either. Adults can make up their own minds whether or not to poison themselves, for testing, but forcing your kids to be ill is a different question in my book. There are no accurate tests (yet) for ncgi.

No, she was telling people even before going gluten free to not get the blood test. No one is saying do a challenge. We are talking about chronically ill children as well - so what if it isn't even anything to do with celiac - or what if its celiac and something else? My son had a borderline celiac tests - he is much much better gluten free - but it has become clear that there is also something else going on. How would you ever know any of that with no testing. All I was saying is do the blood test and if its neg then go gluten free - but do the test first. Also - she keeps going on about how Celiac is an allergy etc. She doesn't know anything about it and yet she is giving advice on it? There is nothing worse than people talking about anything medical when they know nothing about it.

      Thanks, jmartes, for answering the question. You believe you still have active Celiac Disease. Right? You wrote that you are WHEAT free. Are you also BARLEY free and RYE free?I am asking this because to have an active reaction you must be putting gluten into your body, There are a few other foods that may cause some autoantibody production. Ask KnittyKitty...

      Hi jmartes, In 1994, when you were in your 30s you were diagnosed with Celiac Disease at Kaiser. You went on a gluten free diet and still avoid eating wheat, barley and Rye. It seems that you recovered and you no longer have active Celiac Disease at age 54. If you started eating the gluten grains again you might again get back the symptoms and problems...

      Celiac is too common to be "rare" under the standard definition. Does this group do anything with Celiac?

Are you also BARLEY free and RYE free?I am asking this because to have an active reaction you must be putting gluten  into your body, There are a few other foods that may cause some autoantibody production. Ask KnittyKitty about this. In 2007 you had more food issues. Many Celiacs have this development and I think it is because while they hadthe active celiac disease and damage to their small intestine food allergies were caused because of the damage  while you had the active disease and not identified until years later. It is necessary to eliminate those foods from your diet. Scott Adams wrote that some people can start eating those foods after their intestine has healed. I have not been able to add any foods I react to back to my diet.

It seems that you recovered and you no longer have active Celiac Disease at age 54. If you started eating the gluten grains again you might again get back the symptoms and problems you had when you were in your 30s. The only cure for Celiac Disease is being strictly gluten free.  Your medical providers are correct in telling  you that you do not have active Celiac Disease. Do you understand that? You may have some other developing health problems and I can write  more if you  answer the question.                         the only cure for celiac disease is being  gluten gree.
