Wheat Intolerance/sensitivity?


xjess

Recommended Posts

xjess Newbie

Hi, I've been having stomach/bowel problems for months now which my doctor seem to think is IBS-C. I've had blood tests, ultra sound scans of my stomach and urine/stool tests and nothing has shown up apart from a tiny gallstone. I've had a celiac screening test and that came back negative and I've just finished around a two month period on the FODMAP diet. I've recently started re-introducing foods. I've tried Weetabix - which I've been fine with so far and I've had no symptoms yet but whenever I've tried bread, I bloat! Is it possible that I do have some sort of wheat intolerance even though I'm fine with Weetabix? And are there any wheat intolerance tests available or are they just a waste of time because they aren't 100% accurate? Thanks smile.png

That cereal has just wheat, barley extract, sugar and some vitamins. Besides wheat, oil, salt and possibly eggs, bread contains yeast and other ingredients to make it shelf stable. I would suspect yeast or one of the other ingredients over gluten.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
