How do I get tested for Celiac disease?

Hi! I have IBS as well, so we're on the same boat. :) What I haven't had is that when I eat vegetables my pain gets worse. i have celiac's and to get tested you have to go to a dr. and have him take a camera through you to see if a part of you, i believe it was your stomach, has the disease. I found out that it was genetic though, so if someone in your family has it, you can basically assume, and if it doesn't help to go on the diet, i would go to a dr. I thought I had the prob. being allergic to lactose, but once I got on the diet I was fine. Celiacs can cause your bones to be weak as well as your teeth, and it makes your insides raw because your body cant process gluten. Fast food isn't good for you, and I think it would make anyone feel better if they cut it out of their diet. I don't know what the vegetable problem would be, but maybe the acid and fiber that your body is trying to digest is too much to suddenly take because your body isn't used to consuming that type of food, the only thing i could think of is to slowly add the veggie's to your diet.

A friend was tested via biopsy for Coeliac disease, and was told that this is the most accurate test. This is in Australia so maybe different. My Gastroenterologist also said that IBS is a "cop-out" by doctors who are unable to correctly diagnose conditions! I was "diagnosed" with IBS by several specialists before finding my current Gastro guy who has correctly worked out what the problem is ( probs from botched surgery). Wendy.
