Yes thank you for all your advice! It is very hard struggling with these issues alone. I just decided to make an account here because I didn't know what else to do, and I'm so glad I did that because everyone here has been so helpful.

I'd hate to think that I need to get to a very severe point of sickness before the doctor will take me seriously. I guess I have to find another doctor somehow, that actually knows a thing or two about gluten related issues. Your words...

My doctor does not believe that I have a gluten-related issue, even though I've stated to him that my health problems went away when I stopped gluten, he was doubtful. Right when he walked into the room, he was like "You look anxious, what is wrong" and I said in surprise "oh, I guess I do look anxious, but I don't feel anxious. I am just not feeling...
