I've been gluten free since October, when my blood test came back positive. [i believe my doctor said that of the four tests they run in the panel, one came back "slightly elevated" but I dont have the exact numbers in front of me right now]. Well, I couldn't get an appointment for a biopsy for a good two months, so I figured instead of the biopsy I would...
Believe me I know the feeling.

It's been a struggle, but I'm almost 100% sure that gluten is not the only thing I cant handle, since right now I'm on an almost only potato...
So I'm VERY new to the Celiac life. New enough that I haven't gotten a complete positive on all the tests yet, but I'm doing the diet and living the life just in case. I've been trying really hard to eliminate gluten from my diet... but I didn't even think about kissing! Now, I dont have a boyfriend at the moment, but that almost makes it worse, because kisses...
