I would suspect you are still eating some gluten-it's in glucose syrips and soy sauce...you must READ all ingredients on things...hope you feel better soon xxxxxxx

I am not a doctor and i can't say what that means, but to be 100% sure you need a gastroscopy...and a NEW doctor by the sounds of things!!!

I was just diagnosed with celiac disease through a blood panel done on my antibodies. Most of my antibodies were normal but one was high it was suposed to be 11 and it was above 25. I've been on the gluten free diet for a week and my abdominal pain is still there. Why? Do you think i have it? I have been living with abdominal pain nuasea bowel problems and feeling out of it for 8 months now.

hi, i have celiacs and its made my life very difficult.after i had my daughter,the stomach pain worsened to the point that i was hosptialised twice.finaly after some tests they diagnosed celiacs.its a bit depressing,cant have anythin"normal" like any1 else, have to preplan meals etc,anyways, my symptoms can b quite bad at time as i dont stick to the diet properly but i never lost weight!!! are u able to explain why?

They can't be contaminated in any stage from the field to mouth. So therefore you cant eat the usual oats, they must be special, not contaminated. It is not the same protein in oats as in wheat, that is why it should not be a problem. I am glad that i can eat them anyway :)

Emma the San Remo pasta at Coles is GREAT...and i agree the bread can be a bit icky-but try it toasted and it's ok. There's also Lamingtons in the freezer section at some Coles stores that are great!!! How funny you have been watching my videos for a while and we are both celiac!!! xxxxxxx

i have celiac disease. i was tired all the time and i felt realllllly nauseas. grr i hated going to the hospital getting the tests. eww the gluten free vegemite is even worse. the bread is horrible yuk! some of the stuff can b alright i just like foods that are orriganlly gluten free like rice :] no one in my family has it tho great video

No!!!! It is NOT ok-it starts the whole thing going again!!! Your doctor should know better than that. 1 out of every 40 people has it...it is NOT that rare!!! You should have had the test-if you get it now it will not give you an accurate result as your body would have healed itself...let me know how you go xxx

Celiac runs in my family&Im pretty sure I have it.Iv been sick for a while now, lost about 10 lbs in a months time, which isnt good because Im 22 and was barely 100lbs to begin with! So I went to the dr and he thought it may be something else& pretty much ruled out celiac because he said its too rare(I dont have insurance to get tested).and recently went gluten free and have been for the past 3months and I have been fine ever since! So anyway, is it okay to eat'normal'food every once in a while?
