Do NOT think you are cured. Coeliac is a lifetime thing, like diabetes. Just because the damage is healed, doesn't mean it's all hunky dorey again. Brain fog is a common symptom of accidentally getting "glutened".
Research has shown that the life expectancy of coeliac patients is directly proportionate to their adherence to a 100% gluten free diet - in other words, if you eat gluten, you lose years off your life. Want that? I don't think so.
There is a lot of ignorance about coeliac disease, even in the medical profession. Change your doctor, go to one that knows what they are talking about.
I am new here. Reading this: " if you eat gluten, you lose years off your life. Want that? I don't think so."
This frightens me. I am eating gluten every day while waiting to get in for a test at University of Chicago. I have been symptomatic for many years (without my realizing what was possibly going on of course).
Does this mean that I have seriously shortened my life because I did not get a diagnosis earlier?

I am in tears.
