I never bothered to get tested because it doesn't matter to me if I have a diagnosis or not. I feel better that's all that matters. I am regular for the first time since I can remember, My skin has cleared up and I feel great. I also bruised very easily, but didn't realize that may have had something to do with gluten intolerance, I do not bruise as easily now.
I think for the most part most of it has to do with the malnutrition that is going on that may not be obvious. The reaction to gluten in the gut is that the cilia (sp?) that help absorb nutrients die, therefore you may be anemic but it's because your not absorbing food as you should. That's just my two cents, I'm certainly not a doctor, but I would try to tackle one thing at a time, and see if some of the ailments your experiencing may be side effects of other issues, such as gluten intolerance, which really can do an extreme amount of damage to your body.
I hope you get to feeling better!
