I saw a different type of alternative HCP, not a naturopath.  I can say that I had a lot of fatigue (as it enough to be called chronic fatigue?  I quit my job due to it) and depression, along with some other things, and gluten actually was involved--not the causative thing, but avoiding it has been huge for me.  Last fall I got burned out on the gluten/dairy free thing and ate it for a few months, and got depressed.  Learned my lesson.  I didn't have a lot of digestive issues and gut imbalance wasn't a particular problem for me, but even then--yeast overgrowth IMO isn't shockingly unusual, but figuring out the reasons for it in any one individual, that can be important for healing. 

Because I think you're right--at least for me, the long laundry list of stuff that was off, that just wasn't normal, WAS all related to one thing (and the cascade of problems that were coming from one or two closely intertwined things), so finding the root cause and addressing it (including side effects like gluten intolerance) was vital.  I hope you have a great visit and it's a good fit between this doctor and you.

FWIW--my energy is getting close to normal, I think in another few months, I'll be there.  A lot of my other things are cleared up, and I have a plan for the few remaining.
