Re: Blood test showed wheat allergy/intolerance, Where do I start       04/30/09 04:14 AM Edit Reply Quote Fen Reged: 03/01/08 Posts: 574 Loc: Central NY Your doctor is actually misinformed, which most GI doctors are. If your blood test was positive for Celiac, you need a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis before you begin a gluten free diet. The reason is that your villi begin to heal as soon as you start the diet - in a month, they may not show much damage, and your doctor will tell you that you don't have Celiac. This will lead to more confusion on your part! It's your decision - you can go gluten free now and forget about the biopsy, or you can wait and push to have the biopsy done first. The diet alone may make you feel well enough that that may be answer enough for you. Only you can decide how important diagnosis is. See www.celiac.com for more information and some good informative links. Do NOT eat the Ezekiel bread if you've had a positive test for Celiac. Many who are intolerant to wheat are able to eat it, but it contains wheat, barley and rye, all of which are TOXIC if you have Celiac Disease. Go to a good health food store if you have one in your area. Wegmans is good too, if you live near one of those. You will be able to find lots of gluten free replacements for foods - some are good, some are awful. I followed the diet for a long time after my doctor told me too (no testing though). I recommend the Nature's Path and Envirokidz cereals - they will be labeled on the front if the are gf. Tinkyada rice pasta is ok, and I used to eat a lot of brown rice. The nice thing is that these foods are all easy to digest too. Let us know if you have any more questions! Good luck! -------------------- IBS-C Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
