I'm new to this, but have suspected for years that I have a problem with wheat.  I recently began reading everything I can get my hands on, and I've been eating gluten-free for 8 days with great results so far.

I have read some web sites that seem to consider a gluten allergy/sensitivity to be included under the title of Celiac Disease and I've seen other things that seem to separate the two.  I'm not anemic and am not underweight - quite the opposite, in fact.  I've started to drop weight just since I went gluten-free, and until today I wasn't even watching my calories or anything.  I don't want to ask my doctor to test me for Celiac Disease if all I am dealing with is an allergy.  My symptoms are mental focus problems, gas bloating, water bloating, consistant weight gain and trouble losing weight, horrible fatigue, depression, migraines, arthritis - things like that.  But no malnutrition.

Thanks for whatever anyone can tell me!
