I’ve been off my game lately with this mystery illness that I still believe to be Celiac Disease.  Things have been getting far worse lately.

I’m having a bit of a dilemma with this.  If it is Celiac then the answer is to become gluten-free.  I’m ok with this.  The problem I’m having is I need a diagnosis.  Not only do I want peace of mind but I’d also like to apply for the Canadian gluten-free tax credit to help with the incremental cost of these foods.

If this is Celiac then I am likely IgA deficient since I tested serologically negative for Celiac.  That means it must be found in the biopsy for a diagnosis.  If I go gluten-free now I will improve and render the biopsy inaccurate.  The biopsy isn’t for another 4 MONTHS!!  That’s 4 more months of being sick, and perhaps decline more when the answer is right in front of my face!

Money vs. Health is not something that *should* even factor is, but here I am.
