ARCHIVED Test Results
mamaw replied to mandapandapoo's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If your Mum was on a gluten free diet before testing it would not give an accurate result....And my comment is if she feels better eating gluten-free & does not care about a formal dx's then she should stay with what makes her body feel best. anyone can have a sensitivity to gluten but not have full blown celiac... -
