[Irene]

Did you catch this piece of news?

A new blood test is being developed that will involve a 3 day gluten challenge and a result in 24 hrs.

Here's a link to the article:

It's a few years away but seems a step in the right direction.

My doctor doesn't believe I have anything wrong with me, but that saves his surgery money and has stopped me going to him/her (different one each time) My bowel problems and mouth sores have gone since being GF and I wouldn't want to start consuming Gluten again to prove to anyone that I have CD, So all in all it won't affect me Maybe it's a Welsh Doctor thing?

I cried when I read this... it would be such a help to people like myself who just cant face the 6 week gluten suicide diet just to find out one way or the other.

Patience and crossed fingers.
