I do think he makes a valid point that not everything in the world is cured by a gluten free diet. I think patients do have to recognize that if their symptoms don't resolve during a dietary trial, or if bothersome symptoms remain... that they have to keep on looking, keep on trying new doctors, etc., and perhaps sometimes give the medications a try... even if they aren't sure they want to. This could have happened to his mother had she been diagnosed with biopsy proven celiac disease...she may have gone on to require additional treatment for depression.

I'd love to hear this story from his mother's perspective.
