Re: Endo and Celiac disease - a link?From: Debbie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed May 27 13:24:07 2009
Hi Caitlin, Sorry to hear that. At least you know for sure and can do something to keep it under control. I had my blood test yesterday but don't know the result yet. I shall probably go ahead and have the biopsy regardless of the result. I have been attributing a lot of symptoms to Endo but think that maybe a lot of them are actually Celiac. Thanks for letting me know what happened, and I hope you start to feel better with your change in diet. It's a big change but if you feel better it will be worth the upheaval. Good luck
