    Can anyone help....really worried. Been gluten free for 4 months. Still waiting for a biopsy to confirm celiacs. For the last week when I go to the loo I pass undigested food. Feeling really weak and tired. No point seeing my doctor as they have refered me to hospital and don't seem to care. Yesturday I has steak for tea and no word of a lie I went...

    Oh god how aweful for you. This is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Why should I put myself at risk for a diagnosis. Thanks you for your comments.

    Hello I totally agree with all of you. I know I can't eat gluten so will remain gluten free no matter what the biopsy result says. I am trying to get my consultant to confirm that the proceedure may still be useful if it rules out stomach ulcers and other cysts etc. As for a celiac diagnosis like I said I am going to carry on gluten free regardless...

    Hi I have been gluten free for 4 months. My Doctor said I had celiacs but the consultant at the hospital says that there is no eveidence to prove this from my bllod work so I need a biopsy. The only thing is that they expect me to eat gluten for two weeks before biopsy. I did an experiment about a month ago and ate a bread roll which made my bowels...

    Felt really rough all weekend with pains in my legs and ankles and sooo tired today. Any idea how long it takes to get unglutened? Experiment was a good idea at the time but one I won't be repeating in a hurry.

    Got fed up of doctors messing me about. Does she or doesn't she have celiacs so I decided to conduct a little experiment. Been gluten free for 3 month . Had a bread role at lunch time and within 2 hours my bowels exploded. Won't go into details but it wasn't nice. So much for blood tests. Will stick to gluten free dispite what doctors say!!!!

    ARCHIVED Need Help

    Jenny1972 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hello I really need help but don't where to turn. I was told 3 months ago that I had celiacs. I started a gluten free diet which really helped. I have a history of eating disorders which I finally sorted out about 5 years ago as I have a son who I didn't want to let him think it was OK to mess around with food. The guten free diet has been fine. I...

    MinxyMandy I was thinking the same. But If I can get a proper diagnosis then I can get prescription gluten free foods. Here in the UK you pay nearly

    So glad I found this site. Mydoctor told me I have celiacs even though blood work didn't confirm this. been gluten free for two months and feel so much better. Then I saw specialist at hospital and he said i don't have celiacs. they want to do a bowl bi-opsy and expect me to eat gluten for two weeks before otherwise it will be negative. Clueless if you...

    Ravenwoodglass Thank you so much for your help and advise. I am so sorry to hear that you had a rough time which made you feel close to death. I do sympathise as I feel so down sometimes when I know in myself there has been something wrong and yet for nearly a year the doctors kept saying I was just run down. I kind of accepted it for a while as my...

    Wow....You have some really intersting ideas there. Since being on the gluten free diet it has really made me think about alternative remidies. If my son has Celiacs like me then it would be really fantastic if that would help his epilepsy. My son has nocturnal epilepsy and I thought that his bad dreams where triggering his fits so I put a dream catcher...

    Hello I have been told that I have to eat gluten for the 2 weeks before I have the bowl bi-opsy otherwise they won't be able to detact celiacs. Really worried about eating gluten as I don't want to poison my body again. My doctor is still saying it is celiacs even though apparently the blood test for celiacs was negative. Although the tests did show...

    Hello I was told by my GP(local doctor) that I had celiacs on the 5th Jan 2007. My blood test showed an inflamation of the bowl. Another test pre-gluten free diet showed IAG levels high....whatever that means. Really confused. I do feel the gluten free diet has helped but now It seems to be back a square one. Jenny

    Hello I was told 2 months ago that I have Celiacs and started a gluten free diet. I saw specialist at hospital yesturday and he said there is nothing in my blood work to indicate I have celiacs. Now I am very confused. They are sending me for a bowl bi-opsy to confirm celiacs but why would doctor say I have it and to start a gluten free diet if they...
