I just found this board after doing the Google search. Let me give you a Cliff Notes version of what is going on with me. I have always had bowel trouble but in the last two years I have become constantly fatigued, Vertigo, bulging eyes, Vision loss, weight gain, low testosterone, stomach cramps, depression, and a rash on the back of my neck. I have been to many specialists and they have been debating on if it is my Thyroid, Adrenal Glands, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue etc. While I was waiting for someone to agree what my illness is I was told two weeks ago to try a Gluten free diet. So I went to my library and got the Gluten Free for Dummies book and after reading it I saw a lot of things that I seem to suffer from. So I had a blood test already scheduled this week and I called my PcP who agreed to do a comprehensive blood work for gluten sensitivity. Am I barking up the wrong tree with this?

Hello and welcome! It certainly could be and you're wise to get the testing done before you go gluten-free!

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating. Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats? Is your diet high in carbohydrates?

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.
