What's the test like? I am 9 and might have coeliac as well as t1. I want to know how to deal with it and what the actual test is like.

Just one of those boring blood tests. Mine came back negative, but as nasty symptoms carried on I had another examination which ruled out damage to my gut. Nevertheless I was advised by the consultant to follow a gluten free diet.
The diet is easy to get the hang of. My brother and sister are both Type 1 and have Coeliac disease - as for me, I am highly gluten intolerant and have to eat none of the stuff. Coeliac UK website has loads of help and advice for anyone new to it. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/gluten-free-diet-and-lifestyle/food-shopping/food-and-drink-directory/ And good luck. (I now eat fewer carbohydrates and don't miss them - much.)
