Don't bother going to either doctor. You need to go to a Naturopath to have the proper testing available. I went to 4 acupuncturist, 2 ear nose and throat ( best in Arizona) and 2 dermatologist. They will just give you cream to take away the symptoms, but you are not finding out the WHY. That what takes so long. Start eating whole foods, meat and fish with just olive oils and spices. No preserved meat, like luncheon meat or salami. I then eat mainly rice and vegetables. Salad for lunch with protein and mixed vegetables, and no creamy dressings. Research foods that cause inflammation in your system. My arthritis in my hands is gone and I lost 18 pounds. You can still cheat but your system is not be filled with the gluten so your reaction of puffiness might be low. I still get a few swollen spots on my eyes when I cheat, like the super bowl party. You might get a fun book called "The Gluten Free Girl". It is a story of a girl going thru these same issues and the why. Then you research as much as want about Gluten Free eating. The Celiac association has a list of restaurants to eat at also.
