If you have a gluten allergy even whole grains can be a problem. Tomatos, dairy, and even soy are common food allergins and can be a source of problems too. If you have access, find a good middle of the road naturopath who can assist you. Ask him or her about a detox using a food supplement such as MediClear while following a whole foods diet, or inquire about what it means to follow a non-inflammatory diet. I've never had an issue with weight, but when I did a three week MediClear detox recently many of my other symptoms just disappeared. As I reintroduced certain types of food I realized what I had allergies to.

I think you are on the right track with the hormone testing. There is a chance your adrenals are shot or/and you might have a thyroid issue. You can take your temperature at 8:00 in the morning and 8:00 in the evening for a while. If its regularly below normal, it could be a indication of a thyroid imbalance.

Best of luck to you! Its not always as simple as eating less.
