Thanks! This is exactly what I needed.

Thanks you for the recommendations. I was mostly concerned with in hospital, but only because I hadn't gotten around to worrying about post hospital! This gives me a place to start.

Thanks! This is exactly what I need. Lin

I am newly diagnosed (about a month) and have just found out that I am going to have to have some surgery done (unrelated to celiac) in December. I am quite concerned about the hospitalization, especially the eating part during recovery. Does anyone have suggestions for how to best handle preparing for this? thanks, Lin

I just received from my doctor the interpretation of my biopsy results in the mail (too late to call for clarification, so thought I'd ask here.) It said I had "early" celiac disease. The blood tests were (according to the doctor when he ordered the EGD) "overwhelmingly positive" for celiac. So what is early? Everything I've read indicates you either...

Thanks for your quick response. I'm sure I will have lots of questions. I'm looking forward to feeling better! I didn't know whether to go ahead and just start eating gluten-free or not but after reading the information here I've decided that there's no reasons not to begin, "official" diagnosis or not!

I am new to this forum and have a question. My doctor said my blood tests were "overwhelmingly positive" for celiac (I don't know the numbers.) I had the colonoscopy and endoscopy done last week. I am wondering how long it typically takes in the US to get the results back? My doctor's office had "personnel issues" and didn't get back to me about the results...
