At the doctor's office, Sammy met Dr. Lee, who was very kind. Dr. Lee asked Sammy some questions and did a few tests. After a while, Dr. Lee explained that Sammy had something called celiac disease. It meant he couldn't eat gluten, which was in his favorite sourdough bread. Sammy was confused and a little sad.
