Greetings,

I was diagnosed through an Antigliadin blood test in November, and have been
just about GF since then.

My body & mind have been healing at a very steady pace.

I decided to go see a gastro Dr. to confirm with biopsy for personal reasons
and through reading the various postings. I was frustrated to hear the
doctor say that maybe I have "irritable bowel syndrome" and that the
original doctor used the "wrong" test.  But then restated, "well, it's not
the wrong test, it just isn't the one I prefer."  So they took 8 tubes of
blood today for vitamin stuff and antiendomysial ab and sending me for the
biopsy next Wednesday.  Any comments/suggestions on this?

Regardless, I suppose it doesn't matter-I am feeling better and the bone
pain is just about gone, and I don't have to wait 7-10 days to go to the
bathroom!
