<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates - I have noticed some posts, over time, that assume we all get diarrhea as a gluten reaction. 40% of Celiacs don't get diarrhea as a symptom. One doctor I went to said he read somewhere it is more like 50%. When I was diagnosed 6 years ago, I had first spent 4 months dealing with a doctor at Loyola who completely missed the diagnosis, because he was looking for diarrhea and I didn't have it. When I finally went to a local gastroenterologist on my own, who was more familiar with Celiac Disease. he knew that I could have Celiac Disease without diarrhea, and he did the endoscopy and sent the tissue samples to a pathologist familiar with Celiac Disease, and I was finally diagnosed correctly. I had been mis-diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for ten years before I was diagnosed correctly, also. Vicki *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the Celiac List*
