Thank you both for your replies, they were very helpful. I will be sure to have a list of symptoms with me. There is also a letter for the doctor that the Biocard people supply if you get a positive result. I will be brave! Thanks!

Geez, after reading these posts I am so nervous for my appointment next week! I will be asking my doctor to send me for blood work to test for Celiac Disease. I am so worried that I may get a stupid reply from my doctor! I am not very good at sticking up for myself.

Wow, reading these posts actually made me cry. I can relate to so many of your stories. I have been tested for so many things and not much has come up. I am going to do a home test this week and regardless of the results, ask the dr. to do some more blood work to screen for celiac disease. My sons' pediatrician routinely screens every child for Celiac Disease whether they have symptoms or not. I really have to take my hat off to him for doing this especially after reading more about doctors and not diagnosing Celiac Disease.
