Hi all,

I can understand why many of us feel this way but I do not agree fully
with the poster. It is very important we make doctors aware of our
problem! And there are some great doctors out there who knows a lot
about celiacs. many doctors are interested and it seemes as the more
they hear and learn about it the more interested they get!
Please always try to find a doctor before experimenting with Your body,
it might be something else than celiac!
I can also report that we have excatly the same problem with doctors in
Europe, but slowly they are coming to senses and relize we are many who
suffer from this!
So, don't give up!
