Coeliac diagnosis is a B**CH: Part 2

*Sigh*

Took another trip to my doctors this morning.

The five minute walk to the surgery was exhausting and was followed by a 90 minute wait (despite having booked the appointment earlier this morning.

I explained what the gluten challenge was doing to my body...the aching joints, the stomach cramps, the dizziness etc. and he told me didn't think they were all related to gluten.

I'm not one to second-guess a doctor as I respect them as professionals but when I've shared my story with others who have experienced the same things, due to gluten, it feels frustrating.

He says it is vital I continue with the challenge and get a blood test so that I can be referred to a specialist for a biopsy.

He has signed me off from work until after the blood test and has told me that I can come off the GF diet as soon as the blood test is done.

3rd July people, 3rd July.

I understand that these things take time but I am just so frustrated. The idea of putting my body through hell again for another 10 days makes me want to cry / scream / shout. I take good care of myself and enjoy putting nutritious food into my body...filling it with a protein that essentially attacks my intestines is not really my thing.
