I was diagnosed with celiac disease a few months ago because I went to the doctors to see why I wasn't gaining that much weight. I had a blood test and a biopsy done but I still don't think I am a celiac. My sister has been a celiac since she was little and had all the symptoms, she had diorrehea, bloated stomach etc Whereas I got none of the symptoms. I have been strictly following a gluten free diet but it seems to be doing nothing for me. I'm osing more weight and my periods have become irregular, I feel tired and drowsy all the time and don't think I can stick to this diet forever. Has anyone else experienced this? or feel as though you are not a celiac?

    Sorry- it sent too early! 

    I don't think they could have misdiagnosed coeliac disease considering you had the biopsy. It could always be two medical issues that you have?
