I have a question. I was diagnosed with celiac disease a couple of months ago. The doctor did the tests and then called me (after I called since it had been longer than it should have been) and told me I had it. That was the extent of the process. I was then left to pretty much figure it out on my own. The only direct treatment is to change what I eat, so not necessairly anything she could do. But I feel like I was left to do it on my own. They refered to a nutritionist, but when I went to see her I knew more than she did. I felt like I was just left with no help. Is this how people are usually diagnosed with life changing disorders? Or do they usually help? Is this usual? I just feel like I was totally screwed over. No one ever helps when I need it.
