It's possible to be delibitated and not know why. Until you stop eating gluten and get better. You should watch House MD, House is always using the treatment as the test. He tries something and sees if the patient gets better. Many of those patients are dying and he still doesn't know what they have until he tries a treatment.
House is in no way a realistic medical show
I remember a medical friend rolling his eyes at the show when it was airing, because usually he could guess what the end diagnosis could be from the symptoms. House was just really good at making the drama about the doctor interject and extend the eyeball time into the hour long episode
Are you saying doctors don't give patients treatments for unknown diseases to see if they'll work?
Not the way House does!
It's obvious you've never had to go through this because generally no, that does not happen often.
Well My doctors say "take this and we'll see if it works" all the time.
That's for known diseases. We were talking about unknown. And House is not realistic at all.
^ This.
We should have more sympathy for people who have to grapple with this shitty, under-researched allergy.
I just don't get why people think they're allowed to be mad at someone for what they order. They would choose the yummy gluten snacks if they weren't struggling to eat something good for them.
