[QUOTE="cleo82, post: 209001, member: 33833"] Hi, I realise the original post is way out of date now, and hope you've found a few pounds Jammer, but for anyone in same situation - has coeliac disease been ruled out? if not, ask your doctor to do the blood test. ("EMA" I think.) I had 7 or 8 years of stomach pains, bowel problems and anaemia before a doctor thought to check it. Few weeks later had biopsies, which confirmed that I'd had it for years judging by damage to villi. Not sure what the statistic is but I know type 1s are at a much higher risk of developing this disease too so recommend anyone with type 1 experiencing low weight / stomach pains / bowel problems / anaemia ask their GP or diabetes team for the test. Undiagnosed, and therefore untreated, it leads to all sorts of complications but treatment just involves cutting out gluten - completely, and for life. (not easy, but no additional jags or surgery (other than the odd endoscopy perhaps) [/QUOTE]
