Did they test you for celiac disease? I read a post on another forum by a person who was diagnosed with fibro and for many years lived with it and dealt with it according to the fibro diagnosis. Turns out just recently she discovered her true issue is celiac disease and not fibro. She has started the gluten free diet and is doing much better now.

If you did get tested for celaic and the tests were negative you should know there are false negatives on the tests. They are not not perfect. So it is best to try the gluten free diet for 3 to 6 months anyway for cause you can't trust the tests. It take months to learn how to do the GF diet correctly and start to feel better. So a couple weeks is not adequate.
