I had my diagnosis about a month ago, though we suspected it for three months or so. I say i've probably had it my entire life, seeing the symtoms. *sigh*

I was diagnosed 5 months ago. Is there any way to tell how long you had celiac before a diagnosis? I’ve always felt sick after eating as far back as I can remember, and looking back on it had many of the other symptoms too. Makes you wonder how long it was affecting me before diagnosis.

I do not think there is anyway to determine how long you had celiac disease before a diagnosis.  You can guess based on symptoms but remember than some celiacs are asymptomatic.  The important thing is to recover from celiac disease by adhering to a strict gluten free diet.  ?

6 years but I suspect I had it since childhood I had constant stomachache and threw up a lot. It just took being admitted to the ER to finally get diagnosed

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
