ARCHIVED Just Confused!
pir8ped replied to pir8ped's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the replies. I will stay gluten-free! I just wonder what the point of the endoscopy was - if I have positive blood tests plus the symptoms, why bother with the physical examination - whether there was damge visible or not, it looks like I need to be on a gluten-free diet anyway.

Hi, I have just been diagnosed, and had an enteroscopy. I have been a few days gluten-free, but keep having little accidents ( the last being licking the stamp on the letter I was sending to join the Coeliac society (UK) - we like our irony over here! ). Anyway, I am not sure if one of the symptoms I am getting is part of coeliac. Dry nose, eyes, mouth...
