No, she reviewed her symptoms (there are some others I didn't mention, they're just not so obviously observable as her knee inflammation) with a doctor and was told they didn't line up with celiac. Just seemed like a mild allergy to gluten, she went off it, problem solved[1].
Even if the doctor was wrong and she has celiac, it's very manageable so there doesn't seem to be much incentive to go to the trouble of a proper test.
[1] Okay, "solved" paints too neat a picture. Eating truly GF can be a pain in the neck, the stuff's absolutely everywhere. But fortunately the GF fad has, like I said, made that a bit easier.
I doubt that. Remember a paper I read about how a stomach biopsy may not necessarily always find a gluten intolerant.
I nearly died on that shit (Gluten). My life would have been very different if it hat been picked up in my teens. In the end I figured it out myself when I was basically dying (they looked at me when I waked into the hospital and said: Mate, sorry to tell you but the first thing we have to do is an HIV Test. This may give you an idea how I looked.) I know my form of intolerance is rare (1:10.000 to 1:100.000).
My life is different now. I feel better than ever.
