Dear Patricia,

Don't let them make you crazy! You're the sane one!

"....So I see the head shrink, he has me dx'ed before I even get to tell him my side of the story. He tells me I have a "conversion disorder" and its all because of my poor up bringing, ya my mother apparently is to blame for my health conditions. And even though I told him that my health condition improved with the elimanation of glutten, milk and soy, he didn't want me to persue any more testing. Even though my husband concured that my diet helped immensly.
I have a GI dr that believes me, I get to see him in a couple of weeks."

I agree with all the good advice others have given you.

This head shrink sounds like HE needs a shrink, himself! What a nerve, and how wrong he was (in ignorant denial), to tell you not to pursue any more testing!

I agree with getting help from your GI doc.

I urge you to find another shrink, one who can give you emotional support, while you're fighting your way back to health, from your physical problems (gluten sensitivity, etc.), and one who "gets" it, that being sick, causes a lot of stress!
