Doc Only Did A Stool Test, It Was Negative

I have been gluten-free for 5 months and was under the impression I'd been tested fully for celiac and tested negative. (I get really ill now from gluten so it's a given I have an issue regardless of testing). I discovered at my latest doc appt that he only did a stool test (I know he checked for malabsorption issues and I was ok; not sure if there are any other stool tests he might have done to check for celiac) so based on that he decided I do not have celiac.

Do you all consider this testing valid? I confess diagnosis is important for me but I guess that ship has sailed bc I'm not able to tolerate gluten long enough for a challenge. I'm just frustrated bc I thought I was totally tested.

There are many different stool tests. Who knows, other than your doctor what he exactly ordered. If you are in the US you have a legal right to copies of all tests that are done. You may want to get copies of all stool and blood tests and if a celiac panel is not in the blood work fire the doctor.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      With the wide availability of frozen prepared gluten-free pizzas, for example DiGiorno's, it's probably best to avoid the risk of eating pizza in restaurants that also make regular pizza.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I will only add that one should never do 50k IU daily of vitamin D without being advised to do so by your doctor, and only if they are closely monitoring your vitamin D levels over the time you are doing this.

      It needs to be said that 50k IU daily is certainly safe for correcting vitamin D deficiency when used for a limited amount of time, for a few months maybe, as was the case in the two studies linked by knitty kitty. But it would not likely be a safe dosage when used for an indefinite period of time.
