My GPs didn't even want to test me for celiac. I had to BEG for an upper endoscopy. Most conventional docs seem to fee that celiac is SO RARE...why bother? Most patients won't have it anyway
Docs do NOT know everything! I went to an endocronologist. I had written down my list of symptoms and handed it to him to read it. On it included things like fatigue, general achiness, etc. When I asked him if it might be fibromyalgia he just laughed....it couldn't be cause I didn't have the symptoms (I have been diagnosed with fibro by 3 docs since!) he didn't even READ my list of symptoms.
If a doc doesn't know about something...it takes a LOT for them to admit to this. Maybe they are afraid u won't come back if they don't know everthig...or their pride gets in the way ?
In any case....good for you for sticking to the diet! It's hard to when you don't know for sure....but your results are MUCH clearer than mine as I came back completely negative on all accounts!
Keep feeling better....I bet the bloating WILL get better in time! *big hugs* You're doing GREAT!!!!!
