So I have coeliacs

So I had the letter Thursday of last week from my consultant saying I have
coeliacs disease, bugger was the first thought.

I started having bad diarrhoea about 3 to 31/2 months ago, I put up with it
for about 5 weeks but when it started to really get me down and was effecting my
work I went to the doctors to see what was wrong I knew it was more than a bug.

On the first visit we had a long chat about what could be causing it, blood
tests were ordered, which would be the first of many, I was asked to provide
stool samples and wait for the results, in the mean time I was signed off work
for 2 weeks and also referred to a consultant. I had lost over a stone and half
in a months which had to be the most worrying thing. I then had to wait for the
results.

Luckily work provide private medical insurance so the wait to see the
consultant was very short, the blood test came back negative for coeliacs and
most over things the only abnormal result was the liver functions. I got to see
the consultant two weeks after visiting the doctors (better than the few months
that would on the NHS), on the first visit at the posh private hospital I talked
to the consultant, answered more questions gave more blood and was booked in for
a Ultrasound scan of the liver, a endoscopy and gastroscopy. In the mean time I
was told to continue eating as normal and take over the counter diarrhoea
tablets.

More to come..
