I was not doubting any of you. I was simply saying what he did. My parents are paying the medical bills and they think it's conclusive enough.

No, I have not. I am going to try to avoid gluten for a while or at least reduce it and see if that helps. If it seems to, then I'll go for the blood work at my primary physician. I got an ultrasound today to check my gallbladder per my GI's request.

I have had stomach issues since I was 10. (I'm 19 now) Nausea, vomiting ocassionally, diarreah, constipation, my whole gut is sore to the touch, etc. Dr. originally said it was stress. Then acid reflux. Nothing helped meds wise. Well, these symptoms recently (last few months) got very bad, and I also found out my grandma's sister and all her children...
