Not Even Interested In A Diagnosis.

[CarrieVanLand]

Hello. This is my first post here but I have been reading and learning for a little while now. I have been gluten-free for 5 weeks now and I am blown away at how much better I feel. I still have some symptoms and I have stumbled as I learn my way, but going gluten-free is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

I am not even going to bother with going to the doctor and getting tested and proving anything with a diagnosis. As long as my crippling anxiety, joint pain, acne, fatigue, and headaches stay gone when I am gluten-free, I will know I am on the right path. My doctor was talking about testing me for MS because of my symptoms but now I am off of 3 medications since going gluten-free.

I will more than likely experiment with the elimination of corn and dairy also. I am pretty much eating just all natural, clean healthy foods anyway.

I hope to stick around and get to know you guys a bit more, and to continue to learn from all of your experiences. 

Welcome to the board. You may find your doctor gives you a diagnosis when your problems have resolved gluten free for a while. It sounds like the diet is making a real difference for you though and that is what counts most. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
