Jason, You said that you had gotten testing and found out what you were allergic to and what you were intolerant to, or just had a hard time digesting...my question is: what kinds of tests were those and what kind of DR. did them? I am having a hard time figuring out what my issues are and what tests like these. thanks, char

I was put on an elimination diet by my acupuncturist- she took me off of gluten and dairy, to see if it would make my bloating, constipation, stomach distention and gas. For awhile things got a lot better, and then they got a bit worse again. I"m trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with me. I don't know if i'm allergic or intolerant to something...

Hi Everyone, First I want to thank everyone for being so supportive (i've just joined the Forum and i've been on it non-stop) I'm trying to totally simplify my diet and figure out my gluten and dairy issues with an elimination diet.

Thanks so much for replying. I "know" i don't have celiac because my dr. did an endoscopy and colonscopy and took biopsies and said that i "didn't have celiac". i'm feeling so helpless to fix what ever is wrong. Food is such a big part of my life; and I feel like I won't be able to participate in so many things because of it.

Hi, I'm 25 years old and have been suffering with stomach problems for the past 5 years. I've been to tons of GI docs, and gotten every test. I don't have celiac. All any doctor has told me is that I have IBS. I am constantly bloated, gassy, and took me off gluten and dairy. About a week after I started to feel much better, and was going to the bathroom...
