Chances of being coeliac
JettaGirl replied to JoJo0611's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm. -
I was 27 in 2007 when lab tests didn’t pick up Celiac disease. An endoscopic biopsy shows I have it very much so. To this day lab tests still shows I’m not. Just curious if anyone else has had the same results.

Thank you! It was never explained to me why it didn’t show up in the labs. This makes so much more sense to me now. The endoscopy test was very easy though. I was worried about my first one and have had 2 since. I don’t think I was able to eat after midnight because of anesthesia, the procedure itself took 20 minutes. I did need a driver to get me home aft...

My blood tests didn’t show I had Celiac’s but the endoscopy did. The test is easy and you feel nothing after, it’s basically like taking a nap. The worst part is getting the IV, which is pretty easy and basic, hopefully this helps!
