How is it diagnosed?

Celiac disease is diagnosed much more often now than it used to be. It is now estimated to happen in 1 of 133 Americans. It used to be hard to diagnose because many of the symptoms are like the symptoms of other problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue, or intestinal infection. Recently it was found that people with celiac disease have a higher level of certain antibodies in their blood. This means a simple blood test for these antibodies can now help with the diagnosis. Before having this test, you will be asked to eat your usual diet and to eat foods that contain gluten, such as bread. If you avoid foods containing gluten before the test, the test may be negative even if you have the disease.

If your blood test is positive for the antibodies and you have symptoms, you may need a biopsy of your small intestine. A biopsy is the removal of a tiny piece of the intestine. The sample of intestine is examined for signs of celiac disease.

Xbox, please keep us updated after the Hosp Selayang appointment. Or pm me because I need to know to help my friend. There's no treatment or cure for GI/CD (online source) so my friend is self-monitoring but there's still a lot of health issues and need to find out if its CD or not.

Think it's more the case of Malaysians not aware of GI because it's now accepted that about one percent of the human population may be GI. Moreover our diet here is rice rather than wheat based so many will not feel the effects. Even the doctors here - at least the ones we have seen - do not seem to know much about this condition.

they would be taking my blood on 26/05 and the Gastro doc appointment is on 9/06


and inform me if your friend get to test celiac disease at any hospital because i cant find in malaysia
