Back in March I was having trouble feeling right and believed I was anaemic.......what that led to was a complete Shock and a completely new way of thinking about eating.
I was right I was anaemic but this answer actually led to more questions, I was deficient in Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid......and the pernicious anaemia (when you can't absorb B12) test came back as Normal.
What was going on? I was eating all the right things, and taking in enough of both of these substances, so the big question was WHY wasn't I hanging on to it?
At the suggestion of my GP I had a blood test to screen for Coeliac Disease. To my mind this was completely obviously going to come back negative, as I never had any problems with eating anything at all.
June 2012: The results to your blood test have come back positive for Coeliac Disease, I was told over the phone at 5pm on a Friday evening. To say I was confused was an understatement, and extremely shocked, as I hadn't expected that at all.
Aug 2012: Confirmation biopsy.
Sept 2012: Results of the above, biopsy confirms the blood test. I was still reeling from June, so this confirmation was upsetting and confusing, and the support out there for this condition is very minimal
