<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I need some advice. After several years of 'eating problems' I went to an allergist and tested positive for wheat (and several other foods, etc.). I am female, 33, 5'8" and size 6 and eat a high calorie/fat diet (or I will lose weight) and always feel hungry. I went on a wheat free diet for 3 weeks and felt a cloud was lifted from my head - after the 2nd week I could even drink milk again. Then I found your list and learned about Celiac and started to eat wheat again for 3 weeks (extremely miserable, headache, dizzy, bloating) waiting to see a GI. I live in a very rural area of upper michigan so I had to drive 400 miles to see a gastro. He did a biopsy the next day (no blood tests) and said it was not consistant with celiac. He said he would not advise a wheat-free diet as it has too many restrictions. The allergist also gave the same answer. My 10 year old son is constantly complaining with pain and feeling sick after eating. His weight is in the 25th percentile and his height is in the 75th. He refuses to drink milk now. I do not know whether to bring him to an allergist or what to do. The GI said he did not feel the need to see him. My family history includes stomach cancer (aunt), intestinal cancer (mother, uncle), diabetes (younger sister, mother, grandmother). By the way, the GI told me cancer has no connection with untreated celiac disease (ug).
