I tested for celiac but everything was negative. It took time to convince my doctor to prescribe me tests for celiac because he thought just looking at me you could say I don't have celiac. I tested also for ulcer and digestive enzyme but everything was good. After all I have never suffered from even an heartburn episode in my whole life. What bothered me was my blood sugar and energy swings, following an high carb meal.
