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.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
