The Capsule Endoscopy?

I read the Smarts's post. I have a question. My firt gastroenterologist mentioned the same test:a capsule endoscopy, but after the result from the genetic test came back negative, I never proceeded. He told me that I can never have the celiac disease. I don't know what the numbers were, but I'm intended to find it (I might be also positive only in one thing like SMARTS). From that day he loocked at me like I'm making up the stories about my body. I never went back to him. I found the another doctor, but he also didn't believed me. The tests are confusing to him.

If I would go back to the first doctor and ask for the capsule endoscopy after being two months of gluten, what my results would be today? Again nothing? It is worth to even try? :blink:

Hard to say after two months. Do you feel a lot better off gluten?

I do feel better, but I still have some other issues (pancreatitis, or pancreatic insufficiency). I don't have diarrhea at all(more the other way), I losted 25 pounds (I'm very happy about that because I was overweight), I don't have the mouth sores and my energy came back.

When I'm not eating I'm ok, but soon I would eat anything I'm feeling dizzy (like I just drank a half of the bottle of some hard alcohol), pain on the left side of my stomach. Doctors don't know what that is. I'm stuck in the house for three months now. Wen I need to drive, or to go somewhere I will not eat because I'm afraid to cause an accident.

I would like to be normal again. It's geting on my nerves. :(:(

      Your response on this matter is what I expect. You’ve had a similar episode years ago, but this one is lasting longer!

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain
