I had the biopsy during an exploratory upper endo and they told me it was possibly celiac and wanted me to do a gluten challenge by eating 4 slices of 12 grain bread a day for 30 days and repeat the biopsy. I haven't even had my blood work yet (thats tomorrow) My GI dr told me he's pretty sure that it is celiac disease but to be sure he wants to do the challenge...

I know that before I was diagnosed with celiac, I thought about doing gluten-free for my autistic son, but couldn't bring myself to change so much for something that there was no guarantee would help.

Hey everyone! I was diagnosed with Celiac a few weeks ago based on a small intestine biopsy, but still have to have my bloodwork (thats tomorrow) I was told to eat 'normal' until then, but I just can't keep eating whats making me so sick! So this past week I said no more, I'm doing everything in my power to avoid all gluten!! Though I imagine I've eaten it...
