Diet has been okay, been a bit difficult but it’s definitely helped with the symptoms. Dr suggested that I can probably ask to be referred to a dietitian if I feel I’m struggling. Still heard nothing about my appointment. The formal diagnosis isn’t really for me, but for my record. Recently had an appointment to something unrelated, (also at a a health centr...

Think my Doctor told me I need to be back on it for 6 weeks once I get my appointment. That’s good to hear about the weight loss. Weight gain has been a problem for me over the last couple of years. Like you I just put it down to getting older, but still attempted to lose weight. It’s seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn’t lose anything, just...

Yeah, well fingers crossed my symptoms will not persist now I’ve started gluten-free.

My dr has also suggested that they start to monitor my weight from now on as well, assuming that if there is major weight lost they can try and move it along faster. Not sure how much it will help my case cause no matter what I can never loose weight. Even when I had stomach ulcers and vomiting all the time I didn’t loose any weight 🤦‍♀️

So an update, spoke to another dr who suggested to go gluten free temporarily until I get an appointment. Now I just have to find stuff I enjoy that is gluten free 😅 thank you all for your replies and help

I am tempted to go gluten free until I hear something, as it is causing me a lot of pain and upset. My only problem is my diet is extremely limited at the moment due to nausea, and I’m not too sure what I need to add to supplement what I am missing. I did suggest going gluten-free to my dr but they were very adamant they I do not remove it yet. Thank y...

Honestly, don’t think much would happen. Ended up in emergency department, several times in the space of a few months 2 years ago, cause of severe stomach pain and extreme vomiting (like couldn’t even keep down water or anti-nausea medicine down) every time they weren’t too concerned until they saw how much I was vomiting, and then they would just give me an...

Yeah, sorry for not mentioning that.

So in August I did a blood test as I had, and still have severe fatigue. The nurse suggested to test for coeliacs, and ran it through the GP so I wouldn’t have to have more bloods done at a later date. They came back with a borderline positive for coeliacs, so my GP referred be for an endoscopy. They told me if I had not heard anything in 14 working days t...
