Hello, Sorry you’re going through this. All my bloods were negative but I just didn’t believe them, so I paid for an endoscopy. On the health service here they wouldn’t do it without some level of antibodies in my blood but I was convinced. Low and behold I was diagnosed on Thursday. Some of us just don’t produce the antibodies. You... -

Any advice from anyone? How much should I be eating etc. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. in a nutshell, yes I barely eat gluten if I’m honest. Except for the odd time where I look at something and think ah I really want it and the gluten free is not the same. Last week I went home (UK) and went mental on foods I’d not eaten for a long time. I spent the whole time feeling ill but I had to do it just to do it.... -
I am wondering if any of you can help. 5 years ago when we moved to Spain everything changed. I could no longer stomach food, I always felt ill and I was so bloated, miserable and angry. After a few months I deduced it was the fresh bread I was eating every morning and cut it out. I have never really gotten better. I have had so many coeliac blood panels...
