Default Does it really matter if you have Celiac or "just" an intolerance?

I went gluten free in April 2013. Daughter went GF in hopes of alleviating digestive problems and recommended it to me 2 weeks later, she was so improved.

I requested to be tested for Celiac. Don't know what test was done, but my doc said I don't have Celiac. I have not had a biopsy done, and really don't want one.

Within 10 days of going GF, there was marked improvement in my chronic pain, energy level, and stiffness! I was experiencing restorative sleep for the first time in decades. Also, B-12 levels have skyrocketed.

Not all my problems are relieved, so there is more to be investigated, but the bottom line is that I cannot eat gluten!! If I slip up and indulge in something containing gluten, I will FEEL it within 3-4 hours, and it will stay with me sometimes a day or 2. The effect on me is an increase in myofascial pain and stiffness.

To me, it doesn't matter if I have Celiac or not - the treatment is the same, right? I just can't eat gluten. Do I need to find out if it's Celiac?
