Confused and not sure next steps

[Lashley9]

Back in March I ate a bunch of pizza for dinner and got sick immediately. I was having ovary issues at the same time and brushed it off. My doctors were no help so I went to Google. I was googling endometriosis as I thought I might have that and then celiac came up. Honestly I have experienced all the symptoms my entire life. I decided to try going gluten free to see. That was back in March and all my ovary pain, and every other symptom I’ve had my entire life has gone away. 
 

there have been a couple times we’re I accidentally ate a little bit of gluten and got extremely sick. 
 

what I am struggling with is not knowing if I’m actually celiac or if I’m gluten intolerant. 
 

there is no way I could eat gluten for weeks to have the tests done, I wouldn’t be able to work as I get incredibly sick. What should I do? Continue down the path of gluten free and just be okay with not knowing… or is there another solution?

Yes. A diet free of gluten is not a fad diet and you don't need a doctors permission . Agribusiness would like you to believe it is an essential part of a healthy diet but other than carbs the only vitamins and menerals it supplies is added synthetics.

My wife had endometriosis but we were in denial.

These articles on Gluten Centric Culture may help deal with peer pressure.

No. Unfortunately at this point in time there not another solution. You will have to live with the ambiquity.
