A quick response tonight and more tomorrow, as it is late and I need to get to bed. 
Thanks you for taking the time to read my post. I did some editting to it probably after you posted. I do not think I have celiac disease. I had a blood test done to test for the celiac gene, and it came back negative. Also, the third blood test (ttg or em...someting) came back negative twice and that is the test most specific for celiac. So, I am pretty sure I am not celiac. Thus, my quandry. Am I really gluten intolerant, or did I have some false postitives. I don't know if you read my first post about what my first GI said, and the "specialist" but they both said I should eat gluten and not worry about it. My current doc is the one who feels that I am Latent Celiac and suggested the GF diet. He also believes the gene test is not fully reliable.
I just feel so ripped off because you know how difficult all these diets are, and if I truly don't have any relief, then why do I bother? I do believe I am STRICTLY GF and I know I am strictly DF. The relief I have had is going from D like 7 times a day to chronic C, if you can call that relief! But at least I am able to work now.
I don't do soy, except for some Braggs GF soy sauce now and then. I have considered fructose intolerance, but my state has no facility that tests for this. I never tried yeast free, but I usually only eat 1/2 piece of bread a day anyhow.
Are you fructose free now? I do eat fruit 2 times a day. I do love my fruit. And I have some carrots everyday too. Yes, I would like some info if you have it! I don't know how I can give up more food though. This is too much for me, Chrissy. There seems to be nothing left to eat. And I relied on the fruit for help with fiber since I cannot tolerate SFS and if I give my yeast up, there goes any gram of fiber! 
Okay, enough for now. Maybe I will email you. Thanks again for all your support, Chrissy. You are a true friend. I liked the last line of your post. Thank you for that. Oh, it is such a gift not to be in this all alone. Knowing that others are giving all this up in order to find relief makes it a tad easier to watch everyone in my life much down on pizza, ice cream, chocolate candy bars...oh, the list goes on!
