I started having wheat allergy symptoms, then corn allergy about two years
ago and have eliminated both from my diet.  It c ured a lot of terrible
indigestion (10 years of bad indigestion), itching, anxiety, fatigue, but not
all.

Recently I started having pain, gas, diarhea, and ultimately vomiting,
starting about 3:00 to 5:00 a.m.  The pain would center in my back and only
heat provided (little) relief.  Over a period of a few months I had a few of
these episodes, then started eliminating dairy, then tomatoes.  Recently it
got much worse and the pain would start within an hour or so of eating, would
last several hours and would usually culminate in vomiting.

I was diagnosed with a large gallstone and surgery has been recommended but
my appointment with the surgeon is not until early June (he'sj popular).  In
the meantime, I've gotten it to settle down by eating only small meals, and
almost zero fats.

Since removing a gallbladder can cause chronic diahrea, what are the
implications for someone with wheat allergy.  And is it possible that I never
had wheat allergy but just a reaction caused by gallstones.

And I'm exhausted, and very sore (all back muscles are tired, sore).  What
has been your experience?
