Hi Linz, I only ever had a endoscopy which showed no damage to the guts, I have not had the other usual tests. Mainly because I felt so much better not eating gluten, that was good enough for me. I don't care that I can't eat it. Just thankful that I have gone from a wreck of a person to one that is functioning quite well now (apart from when I am stupid). Example, I first posted cause my bladder was killing me (Its when my bowel plays up it pushes on the bladder and bobs your bloody uncle, right) anyway, I then read on one of these threads that icing sugar has gluten. Of course I knew that, had just forgotten. I had hosted a b.d. party on Friday, mad ethe cake, iced the damn thing, ate a piece and then Sat. afternoon got the pain! Well of course it was the icing sugar. It is now Weds. and I am just getting back to normal with the help of every drug I had in my cupboard! So, nope, I won't be eating gluten any time soon. What part of Eng. are you in. I am English now living in Canada. I lived lastly in Westmoors, near Bournemouth, and had time in Hereford. Inlaws live in Saffron Walden near Cambridge. See ya, Neeta
