Hey all,

Just got diagnosed with Celiac Disease at the age of 23 this week and thought I would introduce myself while I get my bearings. Still getting accustomed to the lifestyle, but I'm definitely looking forward to feeling better after about 2 years of misdiagnosis'. So far so good!

Hello..and welcome!

You are lucky to get a DX at a young age so you can omit gluten from your diet. It may save you from a lot of other health problems down the line?

There's tons of info here about making sure you aren't getting cc and adjusting to the life changes. If you have any questions..just ask. :D

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
