ARCHIVED only DGP Iga positive and strong symptoms
mam replied to mam's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, I agree. I read a lot in meantime. If I would have followed my doctors and missed the diagnosis of celiac disease..

Gluten free for life is the only treatment and in meantime check-ups of vitamines etc thanks... -

Thank you so much !! It's how I felt also, not understood and taken seriously. First time it was my GP (where I had my blood tested), then I took the results to my GI who didn't take it seriously. I'll go to another GI for sure. Indeed, it's difficult to stick strictly on the diet. And it's so difficult to know where there is gluten. Like... -

Hi, I went to several doctors and I have the feeling they don't believe in Celiac disease. Since 4 years I have decreasing iron levels in my blood (anemia), despite taking supplements. I'm very skinny, I have mouth ulcers, infections, fatigue for over years and years, constipation, anxiety, acid reflux, intolerance for dairy. I asked the doctor...
