Thanks.

Hi Amy,

Where are you, to begin with. There are a great bunch of docs out there who know about it and yet many more who don't. We just have to keep looking until we found the right one.

I did not know I was wheat allergic until my husband, who happens to be an alternative kind of guy, said, hmm... and took me off wheat. I lost 80 pounds, my skin issues cleared up and a year later I still have more energy and more ability to focus than ever before.

In looking at the rest of my family we find all different degrees of the wheat issue from my basic allergy to it all the way to my sister being a full blown celiac patient. ( a doctor of hers once told her she was not celiac but just fat and quit eating so much.)

Some docs are willing to learn about it with you and some are not.

Might I suggest that you have a look at www.hdsmd.com in a week or so and I should have some links up by then.

Talk soon

Dr. Thomas Lacava (West Boylston, MA) is great with allergies/food intolerances celiac. He is an environmental specialist, not a GI but he has helped me more in two months than any Dr has in the past 20 years.

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
