    Hello, I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease. I will be tested in December. I am fairly certain I have some form of gluten intolerance as I experienced a huge improvement in GI symptoms while removing gluten from my diet for two weeks. Since late childhood/adolescence I have suffered from depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety...

    Hello, For posters in Ontario who has the $125 celiac blood panel done, which tests did it include? Thanks!

    Hello, I posted a couple weeks ago. I went gluten free for 10.5 days and experienced a huge improvement in my G.I. symptoms. My doctor suggested I go back to eating gluten for 2 weeks to do the blood panel. It has now been exactly 2 weeks. Today I bought the biocard home celiac test. It cost only $50 opposed to the $100 and some for the blood panel....

    If my blood test comes back negative, I guess I will just go back to gluten free anyways, as I know at least my digestive system feels a hell of a lot better without it, and see, after several months, whether my other symptoms are improving as well. Thank you!

    Thanks for the responses! Trying to stay positive but it's hard. My family is telling me to go see my psychologist, they also think it's in my head. My doctor said she is testing me, because if I have non celiac gluten intolerance opposed to celiac disease, I will be able to eat some gluten. Basically I won't need to be as careful, because gluten...

    She checked my thyroid and iron stores in March. She said my thyroid was normal and my iron stores were somewhat low. I think she will do some more blood work when I go in for the panel. But routine blood work never seems to yield much! I feel my celiac panel will come back negative, and then I won't know where to go from there!

    Hello! So I went to see my doctor. She is ordering the celiac blood panel. I'm not sure which blood tests this will include. I have to eat gluten for 2 weeks as I have been gluten free for 11 days. Do you think that will be long enough? I'm feeling rather upset as I don't feel I was taken very seriously. My doctor is very nice, but her explanation for my...

    Hello! I am also suspecting gluten intolerance. I have been gluten free for a week and a half and my GI issues have significantly improved. I have also been eating lots of rice, rice noodles, quinoa, gluten free bread, and cereals and just more food all around. I'm also feeling more tired than usual. I'm generally fatigued (I had to give up running a...

    Hehehe! I can see how you would think that was made up! It would be a good name for a pit condition. Perhaps it is related to gluten intolerance then. I will be trying my best to get in to see my doctor tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

    Thank you all so much for your responses! Any time I try to talk to my family about this, they are unresponsive or change the subject. I understand that it scares them because of my eating disorder history, but I really need to get to the bottom of this, and I could use their support! For this reason, I would like a definitive diagnosis, but I am also...

    Hello everyone, I apologize for the length of this post, I have tried my best to condense it. For anyone who has the time, some input would be very much appreciated! 2 weeks ago, I finally got up the never to talk to my doctor about my chronic GI problems, which I’ve been experiencing for over a year and have been getting progressively worse, to t...
