His nurse called and told me that the doc said to “go back to how you’ve been eating” – i.e. give up the gluten. Which is more than fine by me! But he didn’t mention scheduling any blood tests. Is that my punishment for being a poor patient?

Motility.
Maybe the celiac is affecting the motility. That’s why I have so many problems with hard cheese. Hard cheese does NOT contain lactose, but even so I’ve tried taking Lactaid, to no avail. I thought it might be the casein or the whey, but I can eat frozen yogurt with no problems. So that leaves [...]
