Hello, I've been gluten free for the past 3 months after a recommended trial diet from a doctor. I have felt a lot better (although not 100% stomach wise) from doing this diet so I assumed I was at least gluten intolerant if not celiac (my blood work was negative and unfortunately could not afford the scope despite my doc's recommendation).

I've noticed about every 3 days or so something seems to happen and the tummy relapses a bit. Anyways, my doc told me that 70% of people with gluten intolerance...

Hi everyone, I've been reading through these forums because it has been suggested to me by a doctor (who is also a registered naturopath) that I may be gluten intorlerant and/or celiac.
