<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello All PLEASE HELP I am new to this so please forgive me if I am a bit longwinded. My doctor put me on an everything free diet two years ago. And I felt so great I stayed on it but have managed to narrow my problems down to wheat and dairy. I am now trying to get tested for CD but my specialist wants me to eat gluten for 3 months. I don't think I can manage this with working as well and trying to set up my own business. My doctor has talked to the specialist and he has relented to 1 month, which is better but still a long time for me. Since I did try challenging myself over Easter with two hot cross buns and a piece of garlic (over 3 days) and I had terrible gas, a rash, more than normal hair falling out, and dehydration. It took two days to get over and I ended up taking a day off work. The symptoms may have been exaggerated by a couple of other problems but they were still there. A month of this and I would be useless at work. I have found a study which shows that over 60% of the adults challenged showed relapses in their biopsy within 3 weeks. If anyone else has/is in the same situation or can help in anyway, I would be very grateful to hear from you. I will even try a summary. Thanking you all in advance. Alanna New Zealand
