[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2048705, member: 41816"] Hi, I am grain/gluten intolerant, but have never been tested for it by the NHS. I paid for private tests a good few years ago, and was told the whole gamut of grains were a problem. When I rigorously cut them from my diet, and all gluten containing foods from my diet, I felt so much better that I would never go back. This means I would never choose to go through the 6 weeks of gut and skin issues that would accompany ‘glutening up’ for an NHS coeliac test. After all? What would change? I’m not going to go back to eating gluten/grains no matter what the outcome of a test... I would like to echo what [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] said about weight gain being a symptom, not a cause. She is soooo right. The so called ‘greed’, food cravings and weight gain are a direct result of pre-existing insulin resistance, like a line of dominoes falling when you touch the first in the line (insulin resistance). And please be assured: they have clearly established that coeliac is genetic. In other words, if you are coeliac, then you have been coeliac all your life. You may not have had the symptoms you currently experience for the whole of your life, but that is probably because your younger, fitter, more resilent body managed to cope - right up until it couldn’t any more. People with Coeliac have different degrees of symptoms. [/QUOTE]
