A relative was told she had coeliac by her doctor, and then she was told she did not. Then she was told she had it, and again, that she didn’t have it. It was an upheaval in her life to throw out the foods she normally ate and tried to learn how to eat for her condition. She died and it’s not clear if this mystery ailment was related.
However her husband’s health and that of her children seem to indicate that they do not tolerate the kind of folate added to dairy and grains as of 1998. Supposedly, ‘organic’ labeled grains and dairy do not have this synthetic version of folate. Then there’s advice to get ‘natural’ folate supplements if they cut out the synthetic folate in ‘fortified’ foods like bread, rice, dairy, nutritional yeast etc. They checked and found Dad’s daily vitamin had the synthetic type of folate - so out it went. They also started taking B-12, but not ‘cyanocobolmain’ (contains small amounts of cyanide) B-12, but the natural version.
There are always ‘outliers’ - i.e., genetic variables - but the fact remains that less than 1% of physicians understand anything tangible about the gut. That goes for specialists, too.
I’ve encouraged for over a decade that people seek out Naturopaths - who happen to also offer consultation services online.
Orthodox MDs are completely worthless when it comes to complex health issues, e.g., the gut. There are exceptions, but they are RARE.
Most people have never heard of Orian Truss (but one example of conditions not acknowledged by orthodox medicine, even to this day, and happened to be my silver bullet); it’s a great story.
