I got relatively severe gluten intolerance. I don't believe it's celiac...tests are what I'd consider invasive to truly find out.

Shit sucks man.

I agree about the tests. There's got to be a better way than sticking a tube down someones throat.

Yeah. I got lactose intolerance too. I just got a few things I can eat. Over time you just learn to deal with it, and be grateful it's not a terminal illness or something like epilepsy.

Lactose intolerance is somewhat common among celiac sufferers.

gluten is bad for everyone, not just celiac sufferers.

A celiac panel is a routine blood test as far as I know...

The blood test can come back negative if you are not eating gluten products

I will look into this! Thanks for sharing.

Indeed. It can give a false negative if someone is eating gluten too. Unfortunately, the least evasive test is the most unreliable.
