Others may not need that to be able to adhere to the diet. For those that have the "official" dx this means you now have a pre-existing condition-so it effects you as far as insurance or even trying to join the military service. I have the gold standard being that I have positive blood work and the endoscopy showing damage. This does help me stay with the diet because I didn't have a lot of symptoms so it would be easy for me to cheat! I do hate the fact that I now have something on my medical record that is pre-existing-as long as I have continuous health coverage it shouldn't be a problem for me.
