When to see a doctor

Call 911 now: swelling of the lips, mouth or throat, or struggling to breathe after food. That is an allergic reaction.
Call 911 now: bleeding from your butt that will not stop, or a lot of blood or clots in your poop.
Urgent care or your doctor today: black or dark red poop, or bloody diarrhea. Severe diarrhea with dizziness or dehydration needs urgent care.
Your doctor: losing weight without trying, low iron, B12 or folate, lasting tiredness, or mouth ulcers that keep coming back. Ask for the celiac test.
Your doctor, for the celiac test: you have type 1 diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, or IBS symptoms.
Your doctor, for the celiac test: a parent, brother, sister or child has celiac disease, even if you feel well.
Before the test: keep eating gluten. Do not go gluten-free, even on a positive blood test, until a specialist confirms it.
