I am in a similar position, I went Gliten free straight after my endoscopy as my bloods were so high, but ate dairy and things, once the biopsy results showed celiac along with pretty much no villi left I went on the auto immune diet. I am still on the first stage but feeling much better than being gluten free alone. The hard thing for me is trying to work...

Anxiety was one of my biggest symptoms, but never realised it was connected to celiac until I went gluten free, I have been gluten free for 6 weeks now and like you I felt better then worse again. I was eating a lot of dairy, sugar, tomatoes and processed gluten free foods. I am now doing the autoimmune Paleo diet which has cut dairy, rice, corn, nuts...

Hi. Thanks for the reassurance re B12. You can get over the counter iron in the UK but it's a much weaker form than you can get on pescription and I have never tolerated tablets well, when I was pregnant I had injections and they helped enormously so that's what I was hoping for from my GP- but alas he did not think my symptoms were related to anaemia, he...

Hi I have been given a working diagnosis of celiac disease TTG 103. I had the endoscopy yesterday and I am awaiting celiac serology ( tests go to a different lab so take longer). my GI Dr ordered more tests and some have come back odd, my ferrtain was 9 ( range 20-204) my folate 4.4 ( range 3.1 - 20.5) my B12 982 ( range 187-883). FBC...

You must have a good Gastro. My clinic was 8 am on a Sunday morning as they are so over run ( bucks). I was so suprised to get the result as I expected to be discharged back to my GP as I though being celiac was not likely. I even told the Gastro. There is no way I am celiac as although I can't stomach wheat but I can eat gluten smugly. i will...

I don't have any other auto immune disorders as yet, I was diagnosed by a gp with alopecia areata by a GP and not a dermatologist just on the basis of patchy hair loss, this was about 6 months after having my son and resolved after that. I am in the UK and the only screening test they run is the TTG if I was negative on this the. They may agree to run...

Thankyou that is reassuring. I am hoping it's quite simple diagnosis and I can start the journey to recovery soon.

Hi, I had a nasty bout of pneumonia last yr and managed to land up in hospital With sepsis, I also managed to get CDIff whilst there. I was treated and it all cleared up well but had repeated stomach problems and joint pains, was tested for lupus ( negative) and sent to a GI Dr who thought I had post infectious IBS ( 6 months after sepsis) . He did a screening...
