Had blood tests recently as I have felt more tired than usual and it was really getting me down. Bloods showed low iron it also showed positive results in an area that suggests celiac. Therefore, my GP has referred me to have an endoscopy. I really have a fear as I choked when I was small so have also been cautious when chewing my food. Stay clear of any form of tablets and only take when necessary. I know it sounds silly but I really don't want it done. I read that if it comes back as negative, I may have another diagnosis of something else (can't remember the name now) as my bloods showed positive but biopsy doesn't. Therefore a chance of developing celiac. So given the option to cut gluten out of my diet.
I really wouldn't mind just cutting gluten from my diet now but have been advised not to as it will impact on results of biopsy.
Anyone had this experience?
