Hi . I was tested for choliac in Dec 2015 . Came back negative.? so I thought I would be ok with bread ect again . Ate bread for a couple of days recently and I feel so ill with all the symptoms I had before I took all wheat products out of my diet . Am reluctant to go back to the doctors as I don't know how I can be helped .?

To be honest I would stay off bread / gluten - if you felt better not eating it why take the chance?

Hi

Were you gluten-free when you had the test? If so, it may have caused the negative result.

No gluten in the diet = no antibodies to gluten.

If you removed gluten out of the diet after the test was done, then you may have a different form of gluten sensitivity.

You'd think he would have realised you wouldn't get a good result if you weren't eating any gluten :(

Gluten allergy can only be proved 100% definitely by a biopt via gastroscopy not by blood. If you had a blood test that result is not conclusive.

I've had a gastroscopy and the result was negative however I'm very sensitive for gluten especially for wheat with my underlying conditions (a.o. Crohn like ileitis and Lupus like connective tissue disease). Therefore I stay away from gluten.

I would advise you this too if you got sick after eating (wheat) bread.

Hi Lulu, you probably had the bog standard coeliac blood tests, rather than the more refined tests they can now do. I agree with what others have said that if eating gluten/wheat makes you ill then stop eating it even without a diagnosis, though as you've been eating it now would be a good time to continue and to have the tests done again to try to get an official diagnosis if possible.

Hi Lulu, it really seems incredible but some doctors just don't know and they misadvised patiehts as a consequence. In my case my blood tests were positive and despite knowing I was going to have an endoscopy two different doctors at the same practice told me to stop eating gluten.
