Hello. I have been gluten-free since december. My fup is in may. They told me they would redo the blood work, to make sure all of my levels are ok. Nutrients etc. Also they will look at the testing of the intolerance that originally diagnosed me. Maybe they will just talk to you, maybe they will also do the bloodwork> Good luck!

Wow! Thanks for the replies everyone! I feel so comforted. Well my doc did call me today and said regardless of the biopsies do the gluten-free diet so i am, and its for eva! I feel good knowing i have made so many friends in such a short amount of time. Thanks everyone, and keep me posted on new things. THanks again!

What a warm blanket! I feel a little better now. Im having a hard time now not eating junk! Chocolate, icecream, gluten-free candy! Its hard for me. I guess i will get the hang of all this stuff soon!

He said in order to diagnose me i would now need...

It wont come close to the pain of celiac. Much worse, depending on how severe yours is. The way i would describe it is a different pain, none like you can describe, more of a unbearable...
