Grab your phone and make an appointment with your primary care doctor. This is the person who will be your guide on this occasionally confusing journey. They’ve seen it all—believe me, your symptoms are not the weirdest thing they’ve heard this week.
Tell them your symptoms plainly: “I get super bloated, I have weird poops, and I’m always tired.” Be specific! Write it down if you have to. Don’t be shy. You are not being dramatic; you are being your own health advocate.
If your doctor is like, “Oh, it’s just IBS,” don’t be afraid to politely push back. Ask them directly: “Can we please test for celiac disease first?” A good doctor will happily order the test. It’s a simple blood draw, not a scary surgery!
