Hi all,
Like Redkite - I thought everyone was screened - but it seems maybe its just children - although the link does say that adults should also be checked.🙂Unexplained hypo's are one of the signs just after eating - a few children on the CWD list have had these symptoms and ended up with a diagnosis after having a biopsy. It surprises me that it isnt offered in general screenig for all Type 1's given that there is a well-known link/risk.

Hi Bev,
it could be that an adult would mention any symptoms to their GP or consultant, thus no point in testing unless symptoms showing.

Thank you!
Hi Sue,
Yes your probably right - but a lot of people with this condition dont have any symptoms at all. I forget who told me now but someone said that they often find this when doing an autopsy - lots of damage to the intestines which would have had a huge impact on that persons health - often resulting in osteoporosis and worse. It is also important to remember that symptoms like IBS and gastroperiasis (sp?) can often be undiagnosed coeliac. Sometimes feeling bloated can be a sign too - but most people would put that down to feeling full after a meal - so its quite confusing and most people wouldnt have a clue they have any symptoms as such. Certainly as there is a link with Type 1 I would have thought that screening all adults too would be a necessity. Many people say they havent felt so full of energy once they change to GF foods and feel they have their life back.🙂 Unfortunately a lot of GP's hand out heartburn remedies as the symptoms can be similar to that - so it masks the condition and it goes undiagnosed for years.

Oh Lawks a mercy! - I'm just the sort of person who reads the symptoms and thinks they have the disease!
Does coeliac give you the wind? - as in Trumpet Voluntary? without the follow through, LOL

Lol - it does, but so do many other things too.
Coeliac UK recommend 3 yearly coeliac bloods for T1 adults though no official guidelines in place. They report 2-10% T1 are later dx with coeliacs too. There does not appear to be any T1 adults on this forum with coeliacs too. There is no apparent correlation with T2.
