Hello all, my tests for celiac came back negative. I told my doctor that my symptoms had disappeared since Id been gluten free - i had not had one stomach pain in 4 weeks (usually was an almost daily occurance) so anyway, he advised me to carry on for another month then eat something with gluten. On Sunday just gone (today is thursday) i had a piece of...

Thankyou both for your replies. I've just phoned the doctors and my H. pylori results are in but the doctor hasn't read them yet so they can't tell me!! Grrrr....it's frustrating! I will certainly consider trying gluten again after a few months if I continue to improve! Just the once mind!

I am still waiting for my blood test results for celiac (and H.pylori) All my other results for liver function, thyroid and full blood count have come back as negative. I'm hoping the rest will be in tomorrow. Anyway, I thought i'd post to say that I've been gluten free for 10 days now and in the past few days my brain fog has definitely lifted. I've suffered...

I suspect i have celiac (waiting blood test results) partly because of the rash i get along with stomach trouble. What i wanted to know is, i get a rash a few times a year (usually symmetrical) but it is usually on the front of my thighs.

I was just wondering as I might think I've not got a gluten allergy if the symptoms persist while gluten free. Thankyou.

Lindsey: Good luck with your testing on Wednesday. If we can help you in any way, just ask,

Thankyou both very much for your repiles - I totally agree with that and I will stick with the gluten free. I'll still have the test and take it from there. Thankyou.

I'm 39 and I've suffered stomach pains, wind, bloating, constipation, itchy skin rash, anxiety, foggy head, nervousness and depression for years now (getting progressively worse) I'd given up with doctors until last week when I tried once more.....he is sending me for a coeliac screen which I'd never heard of so I looked it up. What a revelation! The symetrical...
