hi there. i was diagnosed with coeliac disease 2.5 yrs ago but at that time i was eating gluten wihout experiencing any symptoms ( that i knew of). Since my diagnosis i have been following a gluten free diet as i know gluten is harmful even if i dont have symptoms. I was just wondering, is it normal for me to start experiencing symptoms after accidental...

Wow, you certainly don't want to lose anymore weight. I was also just diagnosed with celiac and it seems losing weight can happen just naturally on the gluten free diet. But there also seems to be plenty of ways to ensure that you are consuming the right nutrients and getting enough calories in your diet. At the same time, it is tricky realising what foods...

ARCHIVED Blood Test Accuracy
angiegoo replied to angiegoo's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi all, I finally found out my biopsy results. I spoke with my doc over the phone and he told me there was 'some early stages of celiac disease found...' and given my history and bloodwork I probably should 'try going gluten free for a few months'. Even though he didn't solidly say that I have celiac, I think that from what I've read here on the... -

Great, thanks everyone for the helpful info. I think I'm going to wait for the results and consider limiting my gluten intake regardless of what happens. -

Ok, thanks. I guess it would be harder to go gluten free, if I haven't officially been diagnosed as celiac...people wouldn't really understand why I would make that choice if my results come back negative. In a way I'm hoping the biopsy result come back showing signs of damage. -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Accuracy

So if it comes back with a normal biopsy is it possible that after a few years the biopsy could come back positive? If so, then would it be a good idea to go and get another biopsy after a few years? Or just go off gluten once some more prevalent symptoms arise? Thanks for all the input. -

Ok, thanks heaps. Yes, the GI suggested that I try going gluten free even if I have a negative biopsy result, he said I could be gluten intolerant. I was still dozey at the time he told me that though, and I forgot to ask him what the difference is between celiac disease and just being gluten intolerant?! -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Accuracy
angiegoo posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how accurate blood tests for celiac are? A couple of months ago I tested positive with: Gliadin IgA Abs *59 (0-20) tTG IgA/IgG *273 (0-20) Yesterday I had the biopsy, and now have to wait another two weeks to find out the results. I have no typical symptoms of celiac disease, but the reason...
