Does anyone of Celiac disease? My initial tests came back normal (tissue transglutaiase, IGA antibody, immunoglobulin A and gliadin antibody), but I was recently told that my uncle (mother's brother) has avoided wheat for years because it makes him sick. My grandmother (deceased) and brother have had mysterious irritable bowel syndrome their whole lives.... I am going to make plans to see a GI doctor and try to get a colonoskopy and biopsy. Some close relatives have had pre-cancerous tumors so I think the Dr. will do it for that and hopefully take a biopsy while he/she's at it. I also have had some chronic blood in stools but do not have colitis or chron's.

Did anyone here have hard to diagnose celiac disease? There's a strong link with CD and neuropathy and I can't help but hope there's a chance I have it.
