    Hi @cristiana I have had a letter from the hospital after 7 weeks of waiting. They have said there is such a back-log for procedures that waiting for a biopsy would significantly delay this process so they have confirmed a diagnosis of Coeliac Disease based on the very high blood test results.

    Hi @Scott Adams Thank you for the info it's really useful.

    Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I'm 35 yr old female from the UK and have just been diagnosed with Coeliac disease. My Dr reluctantly did some blood tests (after a couple of years of being fobbed off) and I have a TTG level of 1540. She explained to be classed as Coeliac the result is 20 or more. I have been referred to have a biopsy but not sure how...
