Diagnosis Confusion


clarkpowers

Recommended Posts

I recently went through blood marker testing (which was negative) and then had an endoscopy in which my biopsies were labled Early Celiac Marsh 1. Neither of my doctors (Primary or GI) has been really open to discussion...

I am trying to determine if I am trully Celiac? I now am going to live a Gluten Free life, but no one has mentioned to me anything about getting my children tested.

Quite confused and would appreciate any help that can be offered.

If your biopsy (which from what I've seen tends to be conservative when reported) says Celiac then yes, I'd say you're Celiac.

Sorry you have such duds for doctors.

Yes, you should go gluten-free and consider yourself Celiac and on the autoimmune spectrum. The University of Chicago Celiac Center Open Original Shared Link has some excellent handouts on what you should do for testing, and includes testing family members.

I'd suggest finding new doctors if these aren't up to it (sounds like they aren't). Get copies of all your tests to take with you.

Read around the board to start getting an idea about eating gluten-free and Celiac, then start asking questions.

And welcome!

      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 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Had my MRI today I didn't have to have the manitol with my allergy's , I just had a litre of water , they were great with my concerns , so let's see if anything comes of if will keep posted once I have results 👍

      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.
