I couldnt agree with you more.  My advice to anyone who improves on a gf
diet is to forget the doctors and their tests and stick to it.  Thats what I
did. I lived with symptoms for 40 yrs. never knowing what it was, went to
the same doc. for the last 10 yrs and he always treated me like a mental
case, even told my son "Your just like your Mother, you want to be perfect
and there is no such thing as perfect."  Perfect, what a laugh, I was the
farthest thing from perfect, crippling fatigue, allergy, joint pain etc.
Talk about mental confusion, wow, I had it bad.  All that is gone now and I
am 54 and just beginning to live, thanks to myself and the research I did,
not to mention the wonderful support I got from my husband and children.  So
I understand your frustration totally.
