    Just a quick side note: if there is a suspicion someone has celiac, see a doc while still eating the normal wheat-y diet so they can do a simple blood test to check for antibodies. If you cut out wheat and it seems like *was* a wheat problem because you get better, you will have to do a gluten challenge later to get potential antibodies rolling again for testing.

    It's quicker and easier and cheaper and less hard on your body to get the blood draw first, then change your diet as you like. The antibody tests can reveal quickly if you have celiac (with all its other associated issues that need to be monitored) or just dietary gluten intolerance. (there are debates about celiac vs. gluten intolerance, but that's neither here nor there)
