My mum is trying to tell me not to get tested. she thinks I'm overreacting as I've had a lot of stress in my life recently. she said the doctors will just tell me that it's a stomach bug. I need to know how seriously doctors will take me? if I say I want the blood test will they give it to me? or will they be like my mum and tell me to consider other causes...

Thanks for the advice, I will go to the doctor tomorrow and see about a blood test as I've only been gluten free for one day.

I understand it's not specifically for weight loss but at the moment I'm focusing more on what I eat and replacing things like pasta with rice and filling up on vegetables, which is better than what I was eating. I will go to the doctors tomorrow and see if I can get a blood test as I've only been gluten free for one day.

Hey all, i'm new to this. I currently believe I have a gluten intolerance and have already started a gluten free diet, I want to know whether you think it is worth going through all the tests if they might not give me a definitive answer. I'm really scared of doctors and hospitals and needles, so I want to know if it will be worth the stress it will put me...

Hey, i'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge of this to answer your questions. I would like to ask you a question about your biopsy though. I've been told that they put a tube down your throat and thats what really scares me, is it as bad as it sounds? I think I have a gluten intolerance but am really scared of blood tests and needles, etc. Would you say...
