I have developed an allergy to wheat and corn (and who knows what else) and
have been reading the postings on this site for a couple of months.

I'm curious as to why you would notify your dentist about having CD.  By the
way, when I told my doctor I thought I was allergic to wheat and asked
whether I should have it medically confirmed, she said "just don't eat
wheat."  I don't get as sick as some people obviously do from the notes on
this site, I just get tired, fast heartbeat, terrible indigestion, itching
all over and sore for several days afterward along nerve paths, especially in
my back, neck and chest.

Anyway, I had some serious dental work several months ago that made me very
sick.  I felt the shot all over my body -- had sweats, light headedness.
Then I kept thinking I was going to faint the rest of the day (not like me at
all).  The next day or so I got a stiff and very painfull neck (couldn't move
it).  The doctor gave me antibiotics, pain pills and a muscle relaxant.

Does this have anything to do with wheat allergy or did some bug just get
stirred up by dental work???

Thanks
