    Raven, I had been gluten free for 4 days when the tests were run. But my doctor said that you needed to be off gluten for 2 weeks before test results were affected? I guess that's the good thing about being affected by gluten - you don't need a doctor's opinion or approval to stay off it! Well nothing else will happen until after my allergy testing...

    Thanks. I had a good cry and feel a bit better. I really didn't want to her the letters IBS come out of her mouth. My doctor was going to refer me to a GI regardless of my results, but she said according to my test results there is no medical reason to send me to a GI. So I'm seeing an allergist I might wait until my GP gets back from holidays then...

    Okay, I'm back from the doctor. My results for celiac are: Endomysial antibody: negative. Tissue Transglutaminase IgA: 6 units (< 20) Total Serum IgA: 1.58g/L (0.69 - 3.10) So according to this, no I don't have celiac. But they also ran a test for IgE (serum) which was: 75kU/L (< 26). So, she told me I have IBS and has referred me...

    Thanks for the reminder I will definitely ask for copies. I see no reason why they wouldn't give them to me. And I think I glutened myself on the weekend again. What is it with me and weekends?? We went out for ice-cream to a place that told us all their ice cream except for Cookies and Cream were gluten free. They actually know what gluten free means...

    Arrgh!! I am so cranky! I have my doctor's appt this morning to get my test results. I've been waiting for this appointment for 2 weeks. But I couldn't remember exactly what time to go in. So I rang them. THERE IS NO APPOINTMENT BOOKED! The receptionist mustn't have put it in the computer. And to make things even better (total sarcasm) my doctor...

    I've learned to get by, lol! I've only been gluten free for a couple of weeks so I'll let you know if I see an improvement. I wear flat shoes now because I was notorious for falling off my shoes when I wear heels or anything with a wedge. I've rolled my ankle so many times doing that. I used to cut myself often with knives when I was cooking. I still...

    I wonder if I was ever healthy. Milk allergy and excema as a baby, asthma diagnosed at age two, mouth ulcers for as long as I can remember, coordination issues, anxiety. I remember always wishing I was a sporty kid, I had the inclination mentally, but could never follow through because I was so uncoordinated and got tired easily. I thought I was just unfit...

    That's what I was thinking. I was surprised to see it in the email. The Don website doesn't mention KR Castlemaine (that I saw). The wording in the email was dodgy. I'm definitely avoiding Don.

    Yes, definitely get your kids tested. Some people never show any symptoms of celiac, but there is still damage being done inside. It's hard work navigating this path in the beginning. I've only been gluten free a couple of weeks. Everyone here understands what it's like and what you're going through, that's what makes this forum so terrific. We're all here...

    Your GI sounds great I'm glad they've diagnosed you based on your blood test results, it means you can now be gluten free and stay that way. You'll be fine at your endoscopy and colonoscopy xxx
