<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Can anyone help me? For the last six months, I have had gas, bloating, cramping, muscle spasms, and leg cramping (have had the spasms and leg cramping for longer than that. I have had asthma for about two years. I have been to several general practitioners and a dietitian, and have tried several diets, none of which worked. Finally, in desperation, I came across celiac information on the internet, and I was suspicious that maybe this was what was wrong. I have been on a gf diet for three weeks now, and I am very markedly improved. However, I am still very, very sensitive to fruit, anything even remotely spicy, anything with a lot of fiber, milk, ice cream, cheese, green and red peppers, maybe yogurt, and maybe tomatoes. I have been very careful to check absolutely everything I am eating for gluten. My problem is that I am vegetarian, and I am running out of things I can eat without causing a reaction. I am worried that I am not getting a balanced diet if I take all of these things out. Here is my main problem. I have been waiting a month to see a specialist, and when I went today, it turned out she was an allergist, not a gastroentrologist, and she couldn't help me at all. I have to wait another five weeks to go to a gastroenterologist and get any testing done. If I stay on a gf diet, that will have been 8 weeks. Will that invalidate the tests? I really do feel a lot better without the wheat, but should I put it back in my diet so that I can get an accurate test? Also, is anyone else on such a restricted diet? Do you have any suggestions for *vegetarian* things I can eat, especially snacks and desserts? Most things I used to snack on, I can't tolerate anymore. I am especially craving sweet things. I have a bread maker and have semi-successfully been making gf breads. Thanks so much for any help. Wendy Turner
