Gluten Intolerance

Hello, In 2012 I took a "ALCAT" test and received results that I have a "severe" intolerance to wheat. I was only 22 at the time did not take it seriously and went on to eat wheat, and all other gluten filled foods. Over the last year or so, I have developed anxiety, and have started to feel symptoms whenever I eat gluten. I have noticed my anxiety is "worst" when gluten is consumed. I have also noticed that my stomach feels off and that I am more likely to vomit when have consumed gluten. I don't just randomly vomit, but what I mean by more likely is...I am genuinely sensitive to everything and throwing up is a "norm" to me. I get grossed out by things easily and feel sick very easily. So, for the last 37 days i have been entirely gluten free...I THINK...im new at this...anyway i have noticed a significant improvement in my anxiety. It hasn't gone fully away but on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) it is now about a 4..were as before it was a 10+++++. i really have not had any complaints with being gluten free but there are so many foods that i miss. when i initially took my alcat exam i was informed that i should stay away from wheat for 6 months and then introduce it back into my diet...what i am wondering is...will i ever be "tolerant" to wheat/gluten ever again? I have never taken any other tests in regards to food intolerances but the one that i took in 2012. Please advise...Thanks!

First off you might want to get tested for Celiac disease, you will have to eat wheat for 12 weeks prior to the testing. Then the following endoscope. Second even if you test negative the gluten free diet obviouly is helpful for you. Here are some links regarding testing and food intolerance issues.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.

      Hello everyone, I am a young adult living with both Celiac disease and achalasia. I am looking for some inspiration to start raising awareness for people with Celiac disease on instagram. Please reach out to me if you have any tips and ideas on what is important to share to the world.
