I am so frustrated with my doctor. She downplayed my symptoms including brain fog and joint pain and worsening skin issues. I want a celiac blood panel, and she just told me see a derm and cut out carbs and gluten if it makes me feel better. She even aske

I stopped eating gluten and think I feel better but I would still need to know if I have something like celiac. I hope it’s just gut issues I was going through a very stressful time in my life recently and did not feel healthy at all. I’m talking nutrient deficiency and weakness type beat

Asked about how my parents reacted. I’m 21 (f) and that made me feel like she was implying I was overreacting. I know something’s wrong with my gut but I told her I am eating healthy and Whole Foods and I want to make sure something like gluten isn’t causing damage. 😑😑 I’m seeing a different doctor. I’m just so mad

Yes I’m getting the test and currently eating gluten rn. And yeah if I get a negative I still might just eat gluten free if it makes me feel better. I want to make sure if there’s actually a positive result. And getting diagnosed sometime could benefit me in some ways. Thanks for the blog it’s good to see insight from someone who understands.

You dont really need a test to formally diagnose celiac because the only treatment is diet. If you can get the test then keep eating some gluten because you need to for the test. If you can’t then you need to just completely cut out any gluten from your diet. Look up things you have to consider as a celiac. I’d be happy to answer questions and you can look at my blog: braveandnourished.wordpress.com

I looked around for gastroenterologists but I don’t want to spend so much money right now or eat gluten for weeks. So I’ll just take the blood panel for now
