Hi GFGal,
Nice name!!

Wait for at least a year if you can. You will feel the difference within
yourself but as for confirmation medically, its a case of making the dr
feel sure that the dx is right. If you have problems with nagging
symptoms, sure your diet is right for you. Don't be afraid to reduce your
lactose consumption, to check for intolerance. Watch the roughage levels
too!! String beans have already caused problems for some!!:-)
take care,
