We don't have to take any yucky medicine where the side effects are worse than the original problem. Also, we eat healthier and it gives us a reason to come together and discuss our lives!

Also, I appreciate food more now than I used to. I waste less food and basically cherish all my special gluten free foods. Like gluten-free bagels, and gluten-free bread.

It really has been amazing how little food I waste. I used to look at leftovers as something less than attractive but now....

if I have gluten-free leftovers, that are foods that I don't have to forage for.

Lunch has been my toughest time of day and having the leftovers has truly been my savior.

One of our family friends has cancer and she has to undergo very serious chemotherapy treatments.

I feel so blessed that all I have to do to get well is eat right.

the change in my quality of life. Lat fall, I felt sewn into the couch- tired cranky, and tired. this fall, I startes cyclo cross racing, sort of like mountain biek racing on road bikes., It is an incredibly arobic, deep lung pain, muddy, great sport.

When I crossed the finish line of my first race, (last) I threw up my arm in victory. truly one of the greatest moments of my life. My dad came over to take my bike and give me water, and I just looked at him, grinning with tears in my eyes, and I said, dad, I'm not a sickly girl any more!

thats what 10 months gluten-free can do

      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.
