My journey
I received my diagnosis in August of 2004. I am 35 now and felt fine up until January 2004 and all of a sudden (or at least it felt that way) I became extremely anemic (Iron count at 4, no storage levels) I was falling asleep at work, felt like I had to eat constantly too keep up my energy. Went to the gynecologist, she ruled out any female problems. My gyno sent me to a gastroentorologist I had a colonoscopy done and and the scope down my throat. They did a biopsy of my intestine and it was positive for Celiac followed by a blood test confirmation. He immediately placed me on a gluten free diet. It still took me over a year to get my iron levels back up.
I really have no symptoms other than fighting with my iron levels from my Celiac Disease.
