wheat intolerance you say? Well when I was younger I used to not be able to eat wheat because it went right through me( I mean within minutes) but my body eventually adjusted and now I can eat wheat fine. I was like that for several years as well. My suggestion is wait it out, however the headaches, weird illnesses and anxiety you'll have to find answers for from someone else.
I would see about getting testing for celiac disease. To ensure you don't have a problem with wheat and gluten.
I know everything there is to know, I have an allergy to wheat. Or an intolerance, I mean. Email me with specific questions if you want.
Otherwise, a wheat intolerance is the inability to digest wheat, and your intestines become coated with it, which starts inflaming them (giving you stomachaches and inability to gain weight) and it's quite annoying, but my advice is to go off wheat for two months. It's not too difficult. Many food come in gluten free. Anyway, email me through my profile with any questions.
Hi. The most likely cause is Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disease in which the person cannot digest GLUTEN a protein in wheat, rye and barley. (oats are avoided due to cross contamination with wheat during harvest and processing.)
What I would suggest is seeing your doc about allergy testing (RAST) as well as the Celiac blood panel. Since that is my area of "knowledge" I'll help u there.
They will run a blood test and possibly do an endoscopy with biopsy, the gold standard of diagnosing Celiac.
If u have Celiac u will need to follow alifelong Gluten Free diet. (Gluten free is always wheat free but wheat free is not necessarily gluten free.)
Any meds u take will need to be checkd for gluten. www.glutenfreedrugs.com lists brand name GF drugs.
It certainly sounds more like Celiac than an allergy or other intolerance. (Wheat intolerance is very uncommon, Celiac is FAR more common, 1 in 133 ppl have it. Thats higher than the incidence of autism.)
Untreated Celiac can lead to all sorts of problems including infertility, cancers, polyps, and eventually death.
Please feel free to email me or see the links I post fo rmore info.
My daughter is allergic to wheat but has a gluten intolerance. Tested negative for celiac, but really cannot handle any gluten. She is 15 and eats no gluten at all, I have to say she is much stronger than I.
