Reply #18: You won't get any argument from me here.

I thought I was dying, before I was offered a diagnosis of gluten intolerance.

I immediately lost six pounds - the weight just fell off. It may have all been gas, for all I know.

Unfortunately, the diagnosis didn't come about until after I had MRI's and scans and X rays. Luckily I was insured at the time.

One of the things that helped was having a great General Practitioner who gave me the pain pills I needed to stay alive. The inflammations from eating the wheat left me with the feeling that a squirrel was inside me, eating me from inside out.
