My older half brother used to have Coeliac Disease when he was younger, which made it really difficult for my Mum to feed him, when he came to visit in the holidays, as those were the days before you could get much more than gluten free flour and horrible bland biscuits. She had to really use her initiative, as he was suspious of anything that countained flour in, even if Mum would show him exactly what she was making things with.
I imagine it's a lot better nowadays, and it's pretty easy to find gluton free stuff in health shops and even lots of supermarkets. You might still be able to get the flour on prescription.
People say it stays with you for life, but Paul (my brother) has been fine since at least his late teens, it's only recently he's had to start being a bit careful again, but even so, it's nothing like before.
Sorry this isn't really first hand
Yes, the other half has had the blood test for antibodies and it`s come back positive. He`s got to wait for a biopsy now.
