Question about Celiac

[Guest guest]

Regarding blood tests for celiac disease: a positive test is accurate, but

you can get a negative and still have celiac disease (kind of like pregnancy

tests.) There's other ways to test at www.finerhealth.com.

Thanks for that reply I needed.

I have a daughter, Sam, (PDD NOS) on the diet and she is doing

better. I believe I am a closet celiac. My family has always had

strange vague GI symptoms.

As a kid I avoided milk whenever possible. I have always had stomach

complaints but no one ever scoped me and I am chicken. Anyway, Since

the birth of Sam my GI symptoms have gotten terrible. I have also had

my gallbladder removed 3 weeks Postpartum after her birth. I always

attributed it to bad weight gain and poor diet.

I never seemed to have time to take care of myself. Since placing

Sam on the diet and eating some of same foods. I think I feel better

on the diet but I am not sure.

I think I also going to the doctor have myself check out. Thanks for

the extra push.
