Know...I was diagnosed with celiac at the age of 65. Knowing what I know now, I know that it "kicked" when I was around 20 years old. No doctor ever tested me for it, because my only symptoms were hair loss and heart arrhythmia. I finally got diagnosed because I developed diarrhea that wouldn't go away. When I suggested to my doctor that she test for it, there was no resistance. She was willing and ready. :-)<br />The story of my granddaughter is different. She suffered for years from violent stomach pains. She was finally put in the hospital and they ran every imaginable test on her. Everything checked out fine. When my son asked that they should check for celiac, as it ran in the family, they flat out refused because she was of normal weight. She hasn't been tested to this day, but went on a gluten free diet on her own and has been feeling fine ever since. No more stomach pains.gudrun45https://www.blogger.com/profile/02531888998053908224noreply@blogger.com
