If they think you have Celiac they should be trying to get you in for a biopsy very soon. If that is the case you may not want to stop eating gluten because you may heal up before the biopsy. I had pain constantly before I was diagnosed with Celiac and I also was diagnosed with diverticulitis, and the pains I used to have are completely gone and I haven...

Oh I'm so very sorry. I don't even know what to say. Nothing can make up for what has just happened to you. Blood tests will generally not show a positive if you were just eating gluten lightly. Were you previously diagnosed with Celiac?

Actually my allergist tells me that it is very rare for allergies to be outgrown. You are right when you say that they can, but most of the time they get more severe and not disappear. My GI doctor told me a slew of things that the infomational packet he himself handed me conflicted. I have recently aquired a new GI doctor which I hope is better then...

False positives are pretty much unheard of, but I'm sure it's happened before. I'm also sure that it's more then extremely rare, and that it's only happened with ignorant(meaning uninformed or uneducated) doctors.

I know it's dangerous to have this kind of thinking, but if jimbo006 is set on thinking he is cured then I think the only advice we can give is to have jimbo006 be closely monitored by a doctor. If you are determined to eat gluten again the "safest" way to do that is under a doctors supervision. You will need routine blood tests and probably biopsies every...

I second this one. I have Narcolepsy and can't function without my meds. I suspect you have a different form of a sleep disorder, maybe even restless leg syndrome, you should definitely do a sleep study either way just to rule it out at this point. Good luck and I hope you get some answers soon!!

Yup definitely. I used to taste things one day and the next day I couldn't taste anything. I used to be so disappointed when I craved something forever and then when I finally ate it I couldn't taste it. Now things taste so much better to me. I can smell better too lol!! I don't dislike anything I used to like, unless it tastes different. I do not like...

"I don't understand the sense of entitlement about eating in restaurants. It's a place of business, not a public park. If you think it's unfair to be barred from bringing your own food in, is the "No shirt, no shoes, no service" policy out of line?" I don't think anyone here has a sense of entitlement about eating in a resteraunt. I think we just want...

I was going to say the same your B-12 is low, you need a second opinion on the B-12. I'm not real familiar with the thyroid issue, but I feel like I will be very soon. My Mom just tested positive for Celiac and she's had thyroid issues for years, so I'm just praying I don't have thyroid issues too.

"The restaurant has the legal right to refuse service to anyone for any reason." This is a little broad and in the current context incorrect. A resteraunt does not have the right to refuse service to people based on color, race, disability or anything similar, so they do not actually have the right to refuse service to ANYONE for ANY reason. They do have...

I don't actually think that we deserve special accommodation for having Celiac. I guess my point is that we deserve the SAME accommodations that everyone else who goes into the resteraunt gets. If a customer goes in it's the resteraunts job to please the customer and "most" resteraunts will cater to what you want. They will make your hamburger medium, well...

I agree completely!!

You are right in all of this I wasn't trying to compare anything actually just trying to show that things aren't as simple as just banning people from bringing food in. There are things to consider on both sides, but it's frustrating either way. I think if I come in and order a salad and the resteraunt does not have a safe salad dressing then I should be...

I am also capable of acting like a mature adult that's why I chose not to judge others just because they do not believe the same way that I do. You have every right to think I'm rude if I walk into a resteraunt with food, just like I have every right to think it's not rude in the least. I also have many freedoms in America and there are no laws around here...

I have Pernicious Anemia
