I have had the work done to see if I am Celiac or not. Well, had the test done twice. Both times the first two antibody tests came back post, and the endomysial tests came back neg (this is the one most specific for celiac). The endoscopies both came back neg as well.

All this being said, my GI doc still believes I should be on a Gluten Free diet. I don't want to be on this restrictive diet if I don't need to be. I have been on a GF diet for a year, and still suffer pain and symptoms, which the doc attributes to IBS. I know you can have both gluten intolerance and IBS.
Has anyone else out there had this situation? Did you decide to go on a GF diet, and if so did it help. I know some have tried the GF diet, but did you go back to just the IBS diet?
If anyone can get in touch with someone who has had this experience I would greatly appreciated. I am sick over the confusion to this shuffling back and forth for over a year now: yes you can eat gluten from one doctor, and no you can't from another. I don't know who to believe or trust. And my body is so stressed over the inconclusiveness. I am desparate to hear from others and their experiences and what they found most helpful.
thank you all.
