    Did she have a blood test for it? i was just diagnosed on Friday after a positive blood test. My 16 yo daughter has had signs of this disease. I am going to get her tested but she is freaked out by needles and shots. This is not going to be fun. My sympathies to you! This age is hard!

I've been having bowel issues, fatigue, depression and anxiety for many years. I wish I hadn't waited so long to finally go to the Dr. and tell her I thought I had IBS. Blood results showed "severe" Celiac. That is what my dr. told me. I...
