Day 5 Of Glutening...weird

[Smylinacha]

Well completed day 5 and my guts don't hurt like they used to. I have eaten plenty of gluten and basically tripled my food intake. The only pain I have started today....feels like a "stitch" in my lower right side....it happens when I move around a lot. The constipation is coming back and the pressure in my upper stomach is still there. I am EXTREMELY itchy......like an allergy......I get a bright rash near one of my old incision sites from when I had my gallbladder out. This would happen before I gave up gluten for 2 months. I have to put hydrocortisone cream on it and take a benedryl. Plus my eyes are sticky and itchy, my sinuses are clogged and the morning headaches and sore joints are back. Bags under my eyes are starting and I am gonna sleep good tonight cuz I am extremely tired. Not sure what I will do if the info comes back negative.

Regardless, I believe with those symptoms its clear enough what it is.

I am no expert but this does sound like an allergy.  You could have issues with gluten that are not celiac.  Daughter was intolerant to it.

So if my endo comes out fine, should I go and see an allergist?  I was tested years ago but not for food - it was all grasses, dust and outdoor stuff.  And I definitely have malabsorption because I've dropped weight and not that food goes right through me but I can see it undigested at times when I go to the bathroom (TMI - sorry).
