Thank you for replying to her and my comments. I add references because they are helpful for anyone that reads the posts. I have a friend that is an internist, and she told me they only studied celiac disease for about 30 seconds in med school. Unfortunately, those of us with diseases frequently know more about them than the doctors do, so it is great if they are open to discussion and less so when they are not.

Kay Abbott, The gastroenterologist who diagnosed my celiac disease said exactly the same thing your internist did! Very little time is spent on celiac sprue in med school. I was misdiagnosed for years and was very ill by the time I found a doctor who figured out what was going on.
