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.

      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.
