Article on gluten sensitivity in IBS

Maybe docs will start getting the picture now. Celiac is a spectrum disease. You don't do an innaccurate blood test and tell the patient to go home and eat whatever they want because the bloodwork shows they have no issues with gluten. :roll:

I surely wish I'd been told about gluten when first diagnosed, because I went into a remission naturally, if you can believe it, for 8 months, which was wasted because I kept on eating gluten and milk and, of course, eventually LC came back full force. Now I'm having to fight it off again, and it's harder the second time. I asked about gluten when I was first diagnosed and was assured that there was no point in gluten free without actual Celiac disease (and that the diet was very boring). Sigh. They just don't know.

You are so right, they just don't know. Well, maybe, a few know, very few.
