Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Have you all been checked for Celiac disease? My story.....

Thank you so much for your post! This is exactly why we do not recommend self diagnosis. Even doctors do not complete the full diagnostic tests for IBS. You are unfortunately a classic example of what many doctors do; Assume that it's IBS without even testing for simple disorders and diseases that share common symptoms. Our website is extremely comprehensive. We always encourage people to find other doctors if they aren't getting the care they need. Some folks need to hear stories like your to follow through with our advice. Here's the Rome Criteria for an IBS diagnosis. It's hardly followed through! http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/ibs.asp#diseases.

I am so happy that you took your health into your own hands!

All my best to you,
Erin
