@cmdavis88 Hi, and welcome to Connect. I am so sorry you are feeling so miserable. You have a huge multitude of symptoms. I presume you have gone to a doctor about these. What type of doctor are you seeing? I would think the first stop would be a gastroenterologist.

I hope you are in an area with top-notch medical care so you can get this diagnosed. I hate to sound like a broken record to other people who have been on Connect longer, but if you are not in an area with really top medical care, and you do not get a reasonable, appropriate, and prompt diagnosis and treatment, please get to a major medical center. If you do get a diagnosis but find it questionable, most insurance will pay for a second opinion I think. It can be worth paying for a second opinion yourself if necessary. You can't really live your life feeling as you do.

I have been through not getting a diagnosis in a lengthy amount of time and thankfully everything turned out OK but it could have gone sideways if I had gone much longer without a diagnosis.

Yes, I have seen a gastroenterologist. They confirmed I have celiac disease but it feels like it is much more than just that. I think I may go for a second opinion. It just feels like there is more going on than just that.
