happens to all of us. I actually have nightmares about it sometimes. I'll dream that I'm halfway through a donut or a cookie or something when I realize and then I am just so SCARED when I wake up.
at the very least they should have referred you to a nutritionist or better yet an actual dietician!
Today I went in for an endoscopy to see what might be causing this stomach pain and other symptoms I've been having for weeks (I've been gluten free for over 2 years but it started with an accidental glutening). When they wheeled me into the treatment room the tech asked me about my symptoms and replied "have you tried cutting out gluten?" >.<
I've apparently put the cart before the horse. Because I don't have a proper diagnosis (And I will not be getting one as I'm not going to do a gluten chalenge), the GI docs want a series of tests before I can come in. Today they took 4 vials of blood (liver panel, kidney panel, cbc, lipid panel, fasting blood sugar and various vitamins), and on thursday Friday I'll be getting a fasting abdominal ultrasound to check my gallbadder and pancreas. Granted, for all I know it will turn out that I'm having some unrelated issue. Who knows.
