First positive bloodwork, then biopsy was negative. Went back on gluten, this time bloodwork was negative.

This is exactly what happened to me. I finally bit the bullet and decided to get the biopsy done by a specialist at the Celiac Clinic at New York Presbytarian. It came back clean. My doc said the blood test is only a guide to be used for further evaluation, by no mean definitive. In fact he said it is prone to both false positives and negatives based...

I went through a roller coaster of anxiety earlier in the year, and my new business keeps it stressful every...

Hi, Here's my story... Had sudden bloating and constipation in 2007. Saw a gastro in a local well known hospital. They did abdominal ultrasound found a small sludge ball in gallbladder, nothing else. Had Upper GI series, nothing. Had colonoscopy, found a polyp, did biopsy, was hyperplastic, told not to worry. Initial diagnosis, possible IBS. We...
