Hi I had the entire Celiac workup 2 years ago. I had pitting edema on my legs, arms, hands, and sometimes my face. I could push and leave a dent I could pour water in and would stay until I rubbed it out. I was anemic and had been for quite some time.

Thanks for all...

No my doctor doesn't want to do the gene test on me since she is "100% sure" I don't have it. Now she wants to do a colonoscopy and another study where I drink stuff and they xray me for 4 hours and watch it come through me. I don't think a colonoscopy is needed.

I also am anemic, low B-12 and have bad pitting edema on my legs, and several autoimune problems associated with celiac. I was sure I had it. The bloodwork and biopsy...
