    I’ll keep you posted on the biopsy. Fortunately, I was able to get my procedure moved up today, so now I only have to wait two weeks instead of five. Can’t come soon enough! Do you have a recommendation for a celiac gene and/or gluten sensitivity testing product?

    Thanks so much. To clarify, can a person develop celiac without having one of the celiac- or GS-related genes? I haven't done gene testing exclusively for celiac, but after reading your post, I reviewed my 23andMe results, and one of two celiac-related "markers" was detected, giving me a "slightly increased risk" of developing celiac. The marker detected...

I am the only person in my immediate family with likely celiac, but I have an aunt and several cousins with it. I will hold out hope that celiac is the culprit of my symptoms. It will be a long month as I continue to eat gluten in order t...

    For the past year I’ve been battling a variety of symptoms—aches in my arm and leg bones (hands and feet especially), tingly/burning skin, facial numbness around my mouth, and anxiety. A few months ago around Christmas, I started developing abdominal pain on the left side and back pain in my kidney area and on my back ribs. The kidney pain is diffuse and...
