ARCHIVED Got Blood Test Results - No Idea What They Mean!
Lissa replied to Lissa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have a question....are the results different in Canada then the States? (I'm assuming so) and I would like to point out that my doctor is an idiot. She said that celiac and gluten intolerance are the same thing. -

Thanks for your reply, Momma Goose, I appreciate it. Another concern/question - if I eat gluten everyday, should I be sick everyday?

Hi all! My name is Lissa, and I'm sixteen. I've spent a bit of time lurking and finally decided to post. So I had the blood test for Celiac at the beginning of the month, and I finally made an appt to find out the results for the 25th. If I did infact have a postive result, do you think my doctor would asked me to make an appointment? (she has a strict...
