I went to a U of MD ENT and they diagnosed me with PETD and now I am going to an ENT at U of MD that only does ears to see what we can do about it...I am not sure it is celaic related though. But either way it si a pain! A long process.

Postponed until this wed am!!! I will let you know how it goes, thanks for asking!
