    Thank you both for this. The great news is, the doc brought up the need for biopsy. No fight necessary. Min 5 week wait for it - but only because I've only been back on gluten for about 7 weeks and he wants me to be on for at least 3 months. I'm good with that. We are also going to do a full set of blood tests, but I need to do them just before the biopsy...

    So, I 'm finally seeing the specialist tomorrow - after a hard push to convince my GP to make it happen. I first had to go off gluten and then back on before I could get any further with the system here. What a nightmare that's been. I had neg. blood tests about 5 yrs ago. My niece did too, but her biopsy 2yrs later was pos. and her specialist said all...

    Time for an update. After 11 weeks off gluten, I was no longer freakishly cold and requiring up to 5 layers including a down vest to stay warm. I had no canker sores, and the knee/leg pain I'd experienced since childhood pretty much disappeared. And for the ick-factor - after a life-time of floating stool, it started sinking.

    I have always been extremely sensitive to cold. Even when the temperature in the house is 20 + degrees C, I wear upwards of 4-5 layers including fleece and a down vest. At night, I wear fleece pyjamas and have an extra quilt on my side of the bed in addition to our down one. Since going gluten-free, I have been comfortable with as few as 2 layers in...

    Thank you everyone. I suspect we are not being quite as good about this as we should. I bought a bunch of Nairn gluten-free oatcakes and related goodies whilst we were in the UK. Hubby and I talked about it, and we plan to go ahead and eat what we have, but once the oaty-yumminess is gone, we will leave oats out of our diet as well. Fortunately, we have a...

    Sorry, it's a rather long post. I am completely frustrated with the medical system. I've felt generally crappy for years and I pretty much stopped telling the doctor everything bothering me because she always gave me the vibe that she considered me to be a hypocondriac. I've avoided seeing a doctor about actual medical issues because I'm tired of being...
