HI everyone, I just got my blood test back and the nurse said it was negative - which iwas expecting to be honest! I asked her for the range and the gluten range in the UK is 0.8 - 3.0, i cam in at 1.63 which she said is normal within the range and my anti body test was negative. I guess i should be pleased except im back to the start again now

Sorry i meant false negative! In the UK we dont have to pay for our medical care which is great! xx

Thank you both for your answers, my doctor said that if the test result is negative he will forget about Coeliacs and start on something else, but i dont think its as easy as that though with all the false positives ive heard about, but to give him credit he did say that he wouldnt stop until he found out what is wrong with me - havent i got a great doctor...

Hi Emily, I have a really bloated belly too!

I just have one question - when you completely cut...

Thank you so much for replying to me i just dont know who to talk to. The doctor gave me Fybogel (im not sure you have it in the US) but its a stool bulker that forces your intestines to pass stools more regularly but all it does it make me even more bloated, the stomach pain i have in the morning goes around to my back by the end of the day into my kidneys...

Hi everyone, I had a blood test for Coeliacs disease a week ago and im just waiting for the results now, should be another week i think, im just really worried that it will come back negative even if im not? Ive been reading a lot about blood tests that come back as a false negative even if the person really has the condition, what happens then? My doctor...

Hi! Thank you for your reply - its all a bit baffling isnt it in this limbo stage. I had cut wheat out a week ago or so and when that didnt work i reintroduced it and then cut out dairy to see if that made a difference so ive been eating wheat s normal for over a week since i cut it out for a week - will that still make a difference? My blood test is ...

Hi Everyone, Im a 28 year girl in England and i have been unwell now for around 6 weeks. Ive been to the doctor 3 or 4 times now and i finally went back today and saw a different doctor who is sending me for the Coeliac blood test tomorrow to see if this is the problem with me. I wrote out a long list of symptoms ive had and as he read through the list...
