I have a current GI, but I'm guessing his knowlege on Gluten Intolerance or celiac disease is pretty limited as I figured it out on my own. Also the Dr should be good about addressing the cause and not just covering the symtoms.

Any exist around here?

Thanks,

Mike

Another possibility is Tahoma Clinic in Renton, WA. Digestive issues are absolutely one of their specialties. There are both holistic MD's and naturopaths on the staff. Telephone: 425-264-0059.

I would suggest dr. young oh in downtown seattle he's really good and friendly talks about all the options etc. I went in because I was told I had gallstones and couldn't find anyone to look into the gluten issue because of that, they just thought I was being stubborn! anyway, I don't think it takes a referral to see him (I didn't need one) and I'm pretty sure he's still taking new patients. he said he thinks some of my symptoms are from gallstones but did the upper endoscopy and took samples, he said it showed unexplained inflamation etc but not really celiac but because of my success with the gluten-free diet he said to stick to it because he's pretty sure I'm gluten intolerant

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
