From the article: Gluten Sensitivity
Many people are diagnosed with gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity after all testing for celiac disease proves negative. In some cases, positive results on some less specific celiac disease blood tests can spur a doctor to provide a diagnosis of gluten intolerance, even though that diagnosis is not accepted by many physicians.
In other cases, people may diagnose themselves based on response to the gluten-free diet, or receive a diagnosis through Enterolab, which tests your stool for antibodies for gluten.
How were you diagnosed with gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity? How long did it take? Tell your story.
Tell Your StoryWhat happened?
- I was diagnosed with Celiacs 3 years ago. I can tell you I have had two blackouts when I accidentally drank alcohol containing gluten. I drank two drinks and lost half the night. It was scary the next day and thought possibly I was drugged but then a year and a half later it happened again. Now I am super cautious!
