    Hi, This is particulary for the USA guys, who seem to have alot more info on this. I had a negative endoscopy but severely positive TtG and Iga serology. Are there any other conditions that could cause this blood result? Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Mark

    Hi guys, I started my gluten free diet a week ago and was wondering how long each of you were on the diet before you noticed your symptoms cleared up?

He said because of my strong immune reaction he expected my small intestine to resemble cobblestones, but instead only...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. Interesting just had lunch with a friend here in Australia who is also a celiac and he had some sage advice 'wierd stuff happens'.

    Hi, I had a positive blood test for coeliac disease a couple of weeks ago and am due to have the follow-up endoscopy next week. This is not such a big deal and am coping with it OK. However around the same time I have been developing hives. Most of the time they are like little red spots that can itch like crazy, get inflamed if I scratch them and...
