Hello, I am a PhD student in integrative and functional nutrition hoping to examine the effects of a 14 day wheat free diet on asthma signs and symptoms. Currently no studies on asthma and wheat exist from an intervention standpoint. I am wondering if anyone on this forum with asthma noticed improvements in asthma sign/symptoms once going on a wheat-free diet?
If it did help you, would you mind sharing how long it took for asthma signs to improve? For instance, did you notice an improvement only days into a wheat free diet or did it take months? I will not use any of this information in my research but it may help me to tweak the length of my intervention. Thank you.

There have been past reports of those with celiac disease who went gluten-free and saw improvement in their asthma symptoms. You can find those with a search:

also, you may want to study gluten-free, rather than only wheat-free.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
