Thanks to Everyone for your kind words of encouragement.

    I decided that I would rather eat GF and feel good than wait years
for a doctor to diagnose me.  I've noticed that those who wait for a
diagnosis go through a lot more suffering for a much longer period of
time than those who give up on the doctor and go GF.  I tried the diet a
couple of months ago and felt better than I have in a long time.  I'm
only 23 years old I don't want to feel like a sickly 80 year old woman,
I want to enjoy my life!  When I returned to eating Gluten again the
stomach pain etc... was more severe and difficult to tolerate.

    For any list-member out there that is reading the posts and
wondering what to do.  Go GF!!  Feeling good, having energy and living
life is much better than trying to convince some deadbeat doctor to
diagnose something s/he knows little about.  The general conclusion of
everyones emails was that if the GF diet makes you feel 100% better then
by all means that's what you should do.

Thanks for all your support and suggestions.  I hope that in the future
as I learn more about GF living that I can help someone new to this as
well.    Thanks a Million!
