Thank you for sharing this Russ! This is very helpful. I don’t understand why the pushback with my repeated request… but it’s consistent with each of my doctors. A friend just recommended another Gastro specialist tonight and I’m going to call & try to be seen by them. Meanwhile I’m pushing my general doctor for a celiac blood test at the very least. If...

Thank you very much for sharing your story. It really gives me hope. I hadn’t thought about submitting a request in writing, but I can absolutely do that! Celiac is something I’ve said from the beginning but has always been denied because my doctor continually shushes me by saying 1. Celiac is something you’re born with and 2. I don’t get sick everytime I eat p...

Thank you so much! I have plenty of gluten I believe in my system as I continually eat pastas, breads, etc. I’m new to all of this, so could you please tell me what you mean by “the hump”?

How frustrating this must’ve been for you! I’m so sorry to hear this. I just don’t understand how they can allow these symptoms to go on for so long without answers.

Thank you so much! Thinking back now, I know I’ve had my share of stomach issues here and there over my 39 years, but they were maybe a once a year or once every two year situation where I just got so sick from eating something that I couldn’t leave the bathroom. However, I can’t say for certain what I was eating at the time because I didn’t think anythin...

Thank you so much for your reply. I have also heard the same from my general doctor who says I can’t get celiacs as an adult - after reading your post and then some others on the internet it appears you can in fact. I called again last evening to request a celiac blood test atleast. My problem is, if I can’t get a doctor onboard with the endoscopy test - I...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I have thought about a second Gastro, so perhaps I should go in that direction. I am very unhappy with the treatment and attitude I received from the first one who was recommended by a friend with Crohn's - so I was shocked. I’ll look into this, thank you for the suggestion. the r...

I am a 39 year old female who has been suffering with a variety of symptoms for the last 3 years. I was completely healthy with no issues prior. No allergies, very active physically and love food. I know my case is complicated, but I’m hoping someone here can chime in with advice. I’ve seen a number of professionals who’ve all written me off as too c...
