Hi all, it’s been about 7 months since I was diagnosed and stopped eating gluten. I’m strict and rarely eat anywhere but home but symptoms persist - fatigue, easily upset stomach, etc. one doc said to do food testing to see if there’s anything else I should cut out (dairy probably) but another said good testing is basically useless.

Hi all! So glad to find this forum to learn and ask questions. I've been on a journey of trying to figure out "what's wrong with me" for years...and finally had a doctor suggest celiac may be the root of the issue. I've had thyroid issues since I was 14 (38 now), infertility and weird antibodies, never converting with any vaccine I receive (I'm a nurse...
