there are lots of people who don't have celiacs but are sensitive to gluten or wheat. i haven't been tested for celiacs but i know that when i avoid gluten all the terrible pain and various problems i used to have go away. so i figure i have something that makes me sensitive and i am better off without gluten.

i would get tested though if it was easier for me to do so with my insurance. anything with doctors requires more than an hour in the car and i avoid cars as much as i can.
