worried I might be a fake
For the past couple months I have been having extremely painful and debilitating stomachaches and being very sick all around the clock. Recently after getting some lab work done my doctors are almost confident I have celiacs disease. I have always been anemic, my iron levels and b12 levels were just as bad and every single antibody on the celiac panel from my labs came back abnormal. My doctor told me usually in cases of celiacs only a couple antibodies come back abnormal, but of course all of mine had to be abnormal. After the panel had come back she had suggested I completely cut out gluten which has helped alot. They scheduled me for an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy about a month later and I had to eat gluten which did not make me feel good at all. (a part of me worries my anxiety is gaslighting me to believe gluten is poisoning me when it actually isnt.) Its been about 5 days since my procedure and I will still need to wait about a week or so before my biopsy results come back. My worry here is that they will not find the celiacs and I have been telling everyone I need to stay away from gluten. Unfortunately not alot of people in my life know about celiacs and how severe it can be, and to be fair I am completely new to this too. I have always been such an adventurous eater and have only ever had some issues with dairy so this is a big change. I am concerned I wont be able to eat out because alot of places arent great with cross contamination or that people in my life wont be accommodating, or that I am just insane and my anxiety has made me think that any bit of gluten can hurt me. I am making this post after having a dinner that had cross contamination and feeling pretty crappy- no joke lol (I did inform the waiter but this was the best they could do.) So celiacs of reddit, thank you for listening to my rant and if you have any advice or stories that might be of some help I would appreciate it!
I am also aware that food in america sucks balls and that pretty much everything isnt healthy.
TLDR- pretty sure I have celiacs but not convinced and I dont know how to cut it out and still be able to eat normally.
