I developed a wheat allergy after getting quite sick and dizzy after eating bread.  Now I am afraid to eat rice, or anything that could be contaminated with wheat.  Altho I have eaten rice pasta and nothing happened.  After a week of being grain free I am starting to feel better, altho today I did get that weak shaky feeling so many have complained about.  It lasted most of the morning and is finally gone, hopefull it will get less and less, didnt have it for two or three days until today.  I am still awfully gassy if you know what I mean, hopefully this will subside soon too.  I do eat mostly fruits and veggies, once in awhile chicken.  I have done tons of reading on this subject, was wondering if anyone had a reaction to sugar?  For a few days I did have some diarrhea, but that has also stopped.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you are diagnosed with Celiac disease?

Do you have any diagnosed conditions? Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis? UC will flare up with sugars and grains in rare cases, but you would probably notice streaks or drops of blood and mucus in stools.
Celiacs can also develop Diabetes or have thyroid issues which could lead to issues with grains/sugars. Celiac disease can also leave you open to a higher risk of SIBO  or Candida which would cause bloating or gas with sugars/starches like grains, beans, fruit, sugar.

You can still get the above issues without celiac disease, and you can get food intolerance issues or sensitivities. I can suggest keeping a food diary for now, record what you and and limit your diet to whole foods only, Seems like your following a paleo diet with no grains, you might take it a bit further. Diary is a common issue so removing that and the Keto/Akins diet routes would limit your carb intake to help with bloating, by using fats/protein for fuel instead of sugars/carbs.

We normally suggest those who come in and suspect wheat is a issue to their health to see about getting tested for celiac, if your allergic to it the testing would be impossible as you have to eat it for 8-12 weeks prior.  But the protocols and stuff in the Newbie 101 section can help you track down culprits of wheat/gluten sneaking into your diet still.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
