Very Frustrated

Hi. I posted before about wondering if I have celiac like my two kids do. Since that post I have been having some abdominal pain and gassyness. I haven't had the "classic" loose stools and the Dr. doesn't think I have celiac but diverticulitis(My Mom and brother have both been diagnosed with that). I have lots of pain up under my ribs(mostly left but also right side) pain in the left side right above pelvis and some acid reflux symptoms. I am so frustrated! He put me on Augmentin and told me to eat a low fiber diet(mostly soft foods) and drink lots of water and rest. He said I would need a barium enema when I feel better. I insisted on the celiac panel but I think he only ordered 1 test! My husband is active duty military and this was a military treatment facility so not exactly top of the line health care. I am angry that I feel lousy and the Dr wants to diagnose me with something without proof! I told him celiac disease is the most misdiagnosed digestive disease out there! He just blew me off. He said I don't have the symptoms for celiac and I have a follow up appt on the 28th. So, still waiting.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I was checking aip diet and discovered that aspirin is prohibited. I definitely can understand why that is but my cardio dr says to stay on it. So aip is done before I even get started.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      You are more than welcome.  I think there are quite a lot of different types out there, my own nutritionist was a v. highly qualified scientist as well, but at least you can see what qualifications they are which seem to be quite well stated.  I wish you all well on your son's coeliac journey.

      Thanks for the info @knitty kitty! I really appreciate when people recommend things for me to try, it helps a lot! I will run this stuff by my doctor at my next appointment next week. It is also good to know I am not alone with the continued reactions though. It has been pretty difficult for me and has taken a bit of a toll on my mental health. Trying so hard and dedicating so much time to resolve this issue just to feel like I am running around in circles. But i'm glad to get some insight from people who have experienced the same thing. My family and friends just keep saying i'm crazy andthat i'm a hypochondriac. But the only thing that has gotten me this far in my journey and this close to figuring it out is not listening to them and believing in myself.

      Thank you for responding.  Yes I am.  Infact, sometimes I think it's getting worse. How do you deal with it? I do the best I can but it has taken away my independence.
