Good luck with all the testing. Try not to worry too much, it won't help anything! I know, easier said than done!! I know waiting for test results is a trial in patients but hang in there! Hugs!

I have hypothiroidism and it is very easy for me to keep under control and the med is very affordable. I don't even bother with the insurance for it (the deductible alone is almost 3 times the yearly cost of the med). Whatever happens, have faith. Everything will work out.

And all came back neg, but mom's diabetinc and sis had her thyroid radioactive iodined... and just have a feeling I have this. Not too stressed out, it could be worse.
It's just whole grains as far as I can tell. I'm a carb junkie and not usually sick. Now that I've gotten rid of whole grains I'm quite a bit better. But maybe there are different levels of celiac. And did you know celiacs get C too? I didn't know till very recently.

huh? As far as I know the test for celiac is a biopsy taken as part of an endoscopy. Colonoscopy is for IBD and colon cancer, and probably some other horrible things but I haven't heard celiac.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing? Because I was told the same thing. I had a colonoscopy which was negative and was later hospitalized for malapsorbtion so I suggestion an endoscopy to check for celiac and they told me they checked for that when they did the colonoscopy...I was pretty stunned but that's what they said. They said they were able to get high enough (ewww) that they could get an accurate sample.

you need an endoscopy for Celiac and a colonscopy is for crohns or colitis and other things, but not celiac. Is he going to give you the blood tests too? That's usually the first step in testing for celiac.
