    Isn't there a relation between celiac disease and fructose malabsorbtion? Watermelon is very high in fructose.

      A year and a half of test confusion...

      Gotcha. I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes. I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to...

      Given your long list of symptoms it would make sense to see if a 100% gluten-free diet helps relieve them, especially the anemia, and if so, it would make sense to just stay 100% gluten-free. Also, capsule endoscopy is not ideal for diagnosing celiac disease, as subtle villi damage cannot be detect by it.
