It's always worth getting a true diagnosis. Remember you can also drink things with barley in and include foods with soy sauce. Always worth asking your Dr what the minimum is you can eat so you can get an accurate test as possible whilst avoiding feeling too sick.

dh-b,

My coeliac 'trigger' was pregnancy. I thought it was motherhood for the first year!

Have you thought about getting one of those coeliac kits from Boots to test before your test? If you come up positive on that then you'd be ready to see the doc - might get you in a little earlier.

My 9 year old has never had a true diagnosis because our GP (mistakenly) took him off gluten for a month as a trial and we have never been able to get him back on it for long enough to test him. He is just so ill so his consultant says that is diagnosis in itself and he is treated as Coeliac.
