Hi there...I've been gluten free since my biopsy so about 10 months...still having random neckrash and hives on my eyelids and recently was tested for food allergies. The IgE results were all negative but the IgG came back positive for casein, wheat, corn, beef, apples, banana's, potatoes and tomatoes. It only tested 10 different things (ok for chicken...

I'm trying to see if there are some members here in Northern California around Sacramento or east of it. I haven't had much luck trying to find support groups or many people in the area with Celiac disease....

I'm just curious how your weight loss has been...I'm now 7 days gluten free and have had sooooo much trouble losing weight my whole life i'm hoping this helps too (Gastro called me today and said biopsy was also positive) I'm very obese and hoping this will help a little....

So I had the biopsy last week and they said they also biopsied my esophagus and stomach because they looked inflamed. The dr said afterwards that I had scalloping of the duodenum so to definately stop eating gluten. I didn't get to speak with the Dr. himself just his nurse and she couldn't answer my questions. I guess I'm trying to see if its possible...

Thanks for that! It's so hard waiting!!

I've been reading too much! I'm waiting to see the gastro and have been reading about yeast because I have a neck rash going on 3 weeks now and the dermatologist examined a scraping of it and saw yeast in it. I also just treated a female yeast inf (sorry guys!) and am wondering now after everything could yeast cause the blood tests to be positive? I read...

I just had blood tests showing positive for Celiac disease and am awaiting an appointment with the gastroenterologist. Since I had my child (2.5 yo) I have not been able to lose any weight whatsoever no matter what diet plan (though hadn't tried gluten free before). Before I was told i had to continue eating gluten until my biopsy I gave it up for two days...

Thanks for the link! I'm going to go gluten free, I feel like yuck since starting to eat it again and don't want to keep eating this way until my appointment but I will. (Though I was only off for 2days I can really tell from that how it makes me feel!)

Oh wow thanks for the info. My sister and her son are going to get tested also now but my dad who has anemia and diabetes said he'll do the bloodiest only...he's 70 so there's not much that will change his mind I'm afraid. Happy Easter to you all and thank you!

Hi there I'm looking for some opinions here. I'm 34 had my first child 2.5 years ago and recently was tested for celiac. I'm now waiting to see a gastroenterologist.
