      I have to go for a WLE on Tuesday.  Just had a severely atypical mole removed on my back.  I'm going to have my D levels checked and figure out if I need to take something.  I think for me, that maybe the problem but who knows : )

      Hi Amy!

      What I've learned is that most doctors are still in the stone age with their info on Celiac.  I had to fight with mine to get her to listen to me.  She told me the same thing since I didn't have one of the known symptoms.  Think some of them like to just throw a pill at problems and this is one they cannot.  They have  found over 200 symptoms that can be related to it now.  I've had stomach issues since a child.   It's been blammed on everything from stress to IBS.

      You are right that it is very hard to avoid gluten, but it can be done.  I've been free from it for a year and a half now.  I basically eat meats, fruits, veggies, and dairy.  Eating out and fast food I cannot do.  I also cannot eat most boxed items at the store. 

      Best Of Luck!
