Celiac is manageable, even delicious. In the US, we see folks who have negative blood tests, or negative biopsies, so are not diagnosed with celiac. Some of them still see major improvements in symptoms if they try a gluten free diet. I had not heard of ME and searched for it online. I found the ME Association in the UK. It looks like a thoughtful site for a condition where much is unknown. Best wishes to you and please keep us posted. Hi Jeannie,

Awaiting blood test results for Coeliac testing...and sooooo excited at the prospect that this may be it! To have a diagnosis and a clear path would be awesome! Goodness you know you're chronically ill when you would WANT Coeliac disease! Thanks for the blog- useful piece!
