<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Kathy, I went 16 years before being diagnosed properly by the medical profession. I had symptoms of Celiac Disease ever since I was born, but because I also had other problems they overlooked the possiblity of Celiac. In Canada I will guarentee that most people who are diagnosed Celiacs were not diagnosed easy, in fact the majority went through at least 3 years of other tests and possiblilites. I hope it helps you to know you are not alone. Let's see what we can all do together to get some education going on!
