a couple of weeks ago, and found out I'm allergic to fish, chicken, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. So I guess I'll still have to remain gluten free. I am really thinking it is due to allergies that I'm having all these problems. For the first 3 weeks or so going gluten-free, I ate only fruits and vegetables, because I was so afraid of getting glutened. I was fine until I started adding stuff back in, like eating chicken every day, fish every few days, etc. I'm going back to my doc in a few days and I'm going to ask him about an elimination diet to know for sure. I've read different things about elimination diets, so I'm not sure what I should eat. I also found out I'm off the charts allergic to dust mites, to a lesser degree pollen, trees, weeds, grasses, dogs and cats. Probably why I wake up in the morning unable to breathe, and cough for 2 hours like a smoker (I don't smoke) and blow my nose about 50 times. The allergist said that allergies that cause post nasal drip can cause diarrhea, so if I can get my allergies under control, maybe that would help too.
