I think I am Gluten intolerant - where do I begin?

by Brenda
(Australia)

For years (on and off) I have had symptoms such as bloating, constipation, abdominal pain, lethargy and the little itchy blistery legions appearing from time to time.

I could never seem to put it down to any one particular thing and no GP ever found a cause of the itchy blisters but I have just seen reference to them on this website and with all the other things mentioned here I finally realize that I am more than likely Gluten intolerant.

Where do I go from here?

 Tests and Biopsy
by: Deb Marxsen

I would suggest from personal experience, don't go on a gluten free diet yet, get blood tests and small bowel biopsy/skin biopsy first to test for gluten intolerence; then if negative result, talk to doc about an elimination diet if you still feel it could be gluten because sometimes it doesn't show up in the tests either...

Coeliac Society is a good place to start. since I can't suggest a website browse gluten antidote. Practical help and great ideas.
