    Hello Everyone, My Biocard home Celiac test arrived today. There was a very faint line in the test window, I mean, Very faint. I'm not sure how to interpret this! I will ask the doctor to do a lab blood test anyways but I was curious as to what experiences you may have had. I believe Nicole had a very faint line as well... Is there a normal...

    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...

    Hello Everyone, I was wondering how soon after consuming gluten do your symptoms appear? Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!

    Hi Nicole, Thank you for the great info. IF ever I am diagnosed with celiac disease I will have to ask you about the the stores in the NW. Good to know there are some around. The meetings also sound very useful. Thanks again. Stephanie

    Hi Nicole, Nice to "see" you! I have ordered the Biocard from London Drugs in Brentwood because nobody seems to have it in stock in Calgary. I think I have been tested for everything except celiac disease. I am so frustrated and tired of feeling so sick all the time without any answers. We"ll see what happens... Happy Thanksgiving! Nice...

    Thanks again for everyone's input. I noticed on our standard blood requisition forms here (Alberta, Canada) there is a box for the doctor to tick off called simply Celiac Disease. If it is on the form then it is "free" I guess. The problem will be getting back to the doctor and for her to agree to send me for yet another blood test. I ordered the...

    I decided to take a look at my other blood test results after a few of you mentioned my vitamin levels were not great (even though the dr. said they were fine). I noticed my ferritin is at 54 (Ref range 13 -375) which is down from 95 in April of 2011. I asked the dr. about this when she showed me my results last week. She said it was fine since you...

    Thank you all for your replies. Your answers have been very helpful. Newbie: I happen to have that book on my desk! I borrowed it from the library a few days ago but have not had time to read it yet. One thing to note is my B12 level is in different units than in the book. I figured out the conversion which puts my B12 at around 350 I think. ...

    Hello, For about 20 years now I have been dealing with a vast array of symptoms. Some of them include tingling and numbness in my hand and foot (one side only), extreme fatigue, painful joints and muscles, terrible night sweats, alopecia, brain fog, Raynaud's. In my early 20's I had an MRI to check for MS and it was ruled out. In the last year...
