MyHandful posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just had an endoscopy done last Monday and I will have the results early next week. The GI doctor said everything looked normal and he is fully expecting the biopsy to come back negative (I only tested positive on a IGA anti gliadin test and have more constipation than diarrhea issues).
