Yep, definitely, but Celiac disease isn't very common here and no one else in my family has it so I'm not worrying abt it. My idea is to eliminate gluten and casein from my diet for a few months then reintroduce it and see what happens. This way, I have a basis for asking my doctor to test for food sensitivities. I don't know why but my doctor here was quite resistant to the idea of food sensitivities, I had to burst out into hives before he would even breathe the words 'dairy intolerance'.
I've been on this for almost a week now. The trouble is that wheat-based foods are so safe texture and taste wise, so picky eater that I am, I tend to gravitate towards them. I just had no idea how huge a crutch it's become. Its time to start expanding my range of 'safe' foods now.
