For about the last week I have been in pain. I'm still not sure what it is, but I was concerned enough to go to the doctor. I was worried that it was appendicitis for a while, which is actually what prompted me to make an appointment. Generally I am fairly healthy. BP is not bad, and I have lost a fair amount of weight since going gluten free. (

Yeah, unfortunately you have to eat gluten for a while (about 3-4 weeks) in order for it to mess up your gut so they can see it on the biopsy/blood work. Most people would rather live without a diagnosis than go that route.

It would be nice to have the diagnosis, but I would rather not feel horrible for a few weeks just to know what I already know. Having the diagnosis would be good if I for some reason end up in the hospital, and have to stay overnight, but I'm not sure that it is worth that.
