<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi all. I've written a couple of times because I suspect that I have celiac disease.The answers that I've recieved and my experiences seem to point to it. I've been hell bent all year to get an official diagnoses.The blood tests came back negative after a two month gluten load.I had to take a leave of absence from work.I knew that I coudn't handle both. As soon as the GI took the tests I went gluten free.She doesn't believe that my symptoms could be caused by Celiac BTW. I felt so much better with just two weeks GF.I really didn't think that she would agree to a biopsy.Surprise.She did,with the condition of another 8 week gluten load. This is the closest I've ever gotten to a diagnoses.I think it would help with a lot of problems that would arise in the future.Plus it would convince other family members that are sick to look into it. I can't believe that I've gotten this close and I'm not going to take the opportunity.It's only been two days of the gluten load.The itching,pain,sleeplessness,fatigue,depression,nauseousness are all back.I could add projectile vomiting to the list but I'm determined not to tear my esophagus again.I won't go through that again for another two months. So count me in.I have celiac disease.I hate that it's not written in stone for so many reasons.My family could benefit so much from it.I feel like an idiot explaining that I can't eat most of the things that others take for granted on just a "suspicion" that it's making me sick.I don't know how to deal with it.I guess I'll call myself an honorary celiac and get back to life.I'm not a disease anyway.I just can't eat gluten.Life is to important to have to have a peice of paper to validate how I live it. Thanks for letting me get that of my shoulders, God Bless, Monica
