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.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating. Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats? Is your diet high in carbohydrates?

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.
