Sorry for taking so long to thank everyone for their replies, my mind's only just started to get back into gear after the glutening.

Well, I guess it looks like 100% whole foods from now on then. Deep down I think I knew what may have been happening with the processed 'gluten free' stuff, but after giving up quite a few things I enjoyed eating, it was just nice to have found something I thought I could eat w/o having problems.

I'll give the sausage recipe a go TMBarke, thank-you. At least I'll know for sure that it will only contain those products I've included, no more taking a gamble even on those processed foods I thought I could trust, or at least perhaps as a treat once in a while.

Hi Rita,

I'm based in the UK, so not too sure how much the US healthcare system differs - but could you raise your concerns with the Gastroenterologist?

A few years back I also had raised liver enzymes and was diagnosed with NAFLD. Looking back what I actually had was autoimmune liver disease caused by the Celiac.

I know how hard it is to navigate a way around the medical professonals as well as coping with this condition, but if you feel it's Celiac, that's what counts - unfortunately from my experience it can take a while for others to catch-up with us.

The more I think about it, the more I'm beginning to wonder if I also have problems with corn

Only one way to know for sure I guess and that's to cut that out too, it's not easy is it, even after a diagnosis working out what's OK and what's not.

What a great bunch of people use these boards I really can't thank-you you all enough for taking the time and effort to help me get some perspective on all this.

Deep down I know that there's no logic wasting more time thinking about what could have been, by going down that road I'm effectively giving more of the present to the condition

I'm going to print off all your replies and when the 'what if' and 'if only' thoughts pop up - knock myself back into reality with your words of wisdom.
