Hello All,

I usually go to a non-celiac friend to vent my frustration but I've come to
value your opinion so I'll vent here this morning.  I usually buy the large
golden delicious apples at my local produce market but last week I bought
the small ones because the large were more like jumbo.  As a treat last
Saturday afternoon, I peeled one and opened a fresh jar of all natural
peanut butter and had a snack.  I was gassy and bloated all night but
thought it was the peanut butter.  During the week I usually eat an apple
late in the afternoon.  I have been feeling gassy/bloated all week and my
gums started bleeding again - worse than I've ever seen it.  Yesterday I
started feeling bad on the way home from work.  It was obviously that apple.
I didn't have any fluids last night and I had an awful night.  At that point
it felt more like a food allergy - like I had just eaten 6 jumbo shrimp.  As
I sat on my bathroom floor at 1 a.m. and prayed to the porcelain god, I
decided to try drinking lots of water.  That helped a lot.

So, food allergy, bad fruit, or what?  I'm taking suggestions.  Other than
the Gluten and shellfish, I don't have any other food problems that I know
of.

Thanks for listening,
