    I'm not saying all doctors are useless, but you guys have helped me much more in many ways than all those I has visited in their surgeries and offices so far!! It seems there are many reasons to suck it up and chase that diagnosis, but as you all know and have told me, the guarantees are few, and my drive for it is getting pretty low by now. Maybe I'll feel...

    That is the one solitary reason I can think of to carry on with this, to try and save them from it all. But if I notice that they show signs, wouldn't I be in the same situation with them anyway?! I could just put them on the gluten-free diet I'm dying to start with already, or put them through the diagnosis process to get it in black and white for them anyway...

    I'm currently going through all the poking and prodding to get a diagnosis. I am certain that I have celiacs, because of the violent reactions to wheat along side the long list of other symptoms following that. I talked with my GP and she did a blood test. And ordered an endoscopy. My blood test came back negative, but she said this is common, especially...

    .....and yes, my doctor has been given a long list of the same reactions to different foods, along with a long list of other symptoms that I thought I'd spare you with. It's not just barfing a being a little bit sleepy, hence the endoscopy being ordered. There is obviously something going on in there.

    Thank-you SkyLark, I'm pretty certain of what is going on here, and will be adopting a full-time gluten-free diet regardless of endoscopy results. I know my body quite well by now!! Just seeing it in black and white will be confirmation. Also I have two toddlers, and if I know for certain that I have it, then I know for certain that they are with higher risk...

    Hi Jane! It is called a 'bio-card', which works in a similar way to a pregnancy test, but instead of pee, you take blood from your finger with a small device provided with the pack. You prick your finger, and that goes is the designated window on the card, then add a diluting solution, also provided, and watch the test window. Takes 10 minutes, doesn't hurt...

    I have the rumbly tummy thing too. Never when I am hungry, or have eaten something 'safe', but it goes mental when I've eaten gluten. I'm on a 'celiac suicide mission' right now getting ready for an endoscopy in two weeks to get my official diagnosis. Had pizza for my dinner today and my tummy sounds like most people's does when they are starving. Can feel...

    So I have being feeling a little rubbish (like death!!) recently, and after comparing my list of symptoms with those of celiac disease sufferers, I decided to buy a home-testing kit and I got a positive result. I have done a blood test at the doctors, but am still waiting for results. Also, I am going for an endoscopy in two weeks. I was just wondering, how...

    Hi people!! I'm currently going through the motions to get a solid celiac diagnosis so I can start with the gluten-free diet that I am actually looking forward to by now. Just after christmas I went on a diet, like many do. Nothing serious, just less chocolate, chrisps, pasta and white bread. Lost the few pounds I had gained and all was good. Went back...
