Oh, thanks - just be patient, OK - here's hoping my hair grows back nicely. I suppose hair growing is a slow process. Btw, I've been tested for just about everything possible, all blood tests have been clear - thyroid, celiac disease, diabetes, hormones, everything!

I haven't been diagnosed by my Doctor, my blood test was negative and I'm the test was also negative for anaemia, so he's diagnosed IBS. I've had stomach/bowel problems for as long as I can remember (I'm now 30), particularly bad since I was 17. At the same time, my hair thinned considerably on the top of my head and has never come back. After telling...

Sadly, don't think I can do the Enterolab tests as I'm from the UK. There doesn't seem to be any similar test over here.

Actually, I'm from the UK and celiac was one of the first things my doctor mentioned (especially as I have Irish grandparents). The rate of celiac can be as high as 1/80 in some parts of Ireland. It's just a shame I was eating a low gluten but not gluten-free diet already when I was first tested. Every time I see him now to say still no better he queries...

After many years of ill health, I'm currently waiting to see my doctor to ask for a test for celiac. I had trouble with my BMs even when I was at school. It started with chronic constipation (BMs only once or twice a month), despite being a very fit active person, terrible hayfever and other allergies and pasty pale skin with dark circles under my eyes...
