Over the past year, every time I have a bowel movement, I have extreme
difficulty breathing (I am asthmatic). As soon as I have passed the
stool, the symptoms subside (typical IBS). I am alergic to wheat (eating
white bread products triggers breathing difficulty). This is the same
type of breathing difficulty I have immediately prior and during a bowel
movement (anytime of day). All the antibody tests are normal except
Riticulin, which is 1:160 Titer vs 1:40. I have a history of IBS. I also
have had systemic candidious due to extensive antibiotic and steriod
treatments for asthma. Since I stopped eating gluten (3 weeks), I no
longer have to go to the emergency room for treatment (which required
cortisone shots). However the symptoms are still "very" uncomfortable.
My doctors (family, GI, pulminary) have no idea. I have most of the
symptoms of Celiac disease (my diagnosis). I would appreciate all help.
