Hi! you answered your own question! you dont want to waste your time ans probably money, and social life eating expensive stuff.. that no restaurant cooks and no one in your fam understands. so get the gene test, get the biopsy... call GI drs until you find one that will listen and do it... if Celiac is not found, then move on from there.. but at least exhaust...

Hi.my NUMBERS ARE tested at every dr I see,everyone wants to do their own.. they all want to blame how I feel, on my thyroid... I do have 20,000 antibodies in the testing... or use an antidepressant.. the ssri's have interacted w my headache meds no one knew at the time ( only a few years ago!) so I ended up w a heart cath. stress test and cardiac monitoring...

hi, have more and more tests get definitive answers! Im 47 and have been struggling to find the answer... NOW doing it myself! if dr doesnt send you to gastro / celiac guy.. then find one yourself... like you, I have no interest in eating an expensive, tasteless, never-can-find-a-food-to-eat-in-a-restaurant diet. if I dont have to... have been off of gluten...

Have Hoshimotos.. have 160 speckled ANA several different doctors. no one is taking reaponsibility for any.. each orders one little thing and doesnt like how the other did. have leakey gut too it looks like. I guess I should just have the endotest done and get it over w? anyone know? switched to synthroid at my husbands...

HEY!! been taking Omega 3's for anxiety years and years of trying SSRI's BEFORE they figured out that they dont go w triptans for headaches..( told me I was just anxious) so the circle goes... Omega 3's!!!! cant take trypto phan and ssri's bad bad thing.. read up on depression + omega 3's tried melatonin.. is Ok.. but still working on it.. love the Omegas...

I see alot of you on here say drs. dont " get it" don't know WHAT to eat, to go on the diet or no? waste a whole lotta money on expensive food... what type of dr to see an Internist, but my results from last year are as stated above...
