I saw Conor O’Brien in the Blackrock Clinic via a referral from my GP. He is a consultant GI.

Definitely research Adult GI. Good to get definitive diagnosis. Dont panic, Coeliac Society are great with advice and food lists. Most fresh foods eg vegetables potatoes fish is gluten free naturally its the sauces, gravy etc. Also sneaky gluten can be in some medications and toothpaste! Hope your Son is doing 👍 ok. Happy Christmas, if in doubt just ask members here.

Hi Daryn. How are things. What happened after that, did ye get sorted ? It can be a long road to diagnosis…it took me 12 years!

Hi there, yes, we went to see Dr. O’Brien before Christmas who confirmed the diagnosis. His tTG-IgA was so high that there was no doubt that it was coeliac disease. He did offer a biopsy/scope but it would mean going back on the normal gluten diet for three months and our son doesn’t want to do that. He’s on a completely GF diet now but still has some issues, still losing weight so we are looking at everything. He has seen a nutritionist too. It’s tough going at the moment.

Just wondering if anybody is Coeliac (without any symptoms before or after diagnosis?) I had both blood test & scope which confirmed I was coeliac some years ago.Just curious to ‘meet’others in the same position, thanks. Mary Jacqueline
