<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Recently, I happened to mention the name of my endocrinologist to a dietetic student who was interning in the hospital where he works. She indicated to me that he was every dietician's worst nightmare because apparently, he doesn't believe that diet has any effect on a person's health! Granted he is an endocrinologist rather than a GI, but, if someone is having trouble getting a Celiac diagnosis from their doctor, it may be that their doctor holds the same opinion. Perhaps they should question their doctor about his beliefs regarding diet and health. Needless to say, I have not been back to see this endocrinologist! Marti Nicoll Canton, Ohio
