I had a similar problem for the first while.  I had to cut out corn,
chocolate, peanuts on top of the GF diet.  This was only temporarly as my
whole body was quite run down and those three items were hard on my
system and it wasn't till everything was back on track that I
incorporated them back in.

now I feel great.  Only, if I were to have a large bowl of popcorn I
would feel a bit sick in the morning, but a small bowl would be okay.

Don't know if this helps.  I can only go by what happened with me.
Oh, I also went on plant enzeymes (sp) for the first while to help digest
my food while my system was building up strength.  Maybe if you were to
see a specialist they could help you there.  These enzyemes were natural
stuff and I only took them for a few months with my meals to help
digest.  As soon as I felt better I stopped.  This was all about three
years ago and I feel great.
