Wife's Symptons?

[VydorScope]

Well my son as we know has celiac disease, and I probably due also. So that leaves only my wife as "not celiac disease". That being the case, and she does most of the day-day cooking, she siad it be easier on her if hte whole house was just gluten-free. So for the past few weeks we have been gluten-free, all of us. Last night we went to the movies and she had some candy that had wheat flour in it. We knew that, but she not celiac disease as far as we know, and thouth had no good reas to suspect other wise. Well about 1 hour after eating it she complained of a pain in her abdomen, and shortly after eating it she had a beginings of a migrane. Does that sound suspicous to anyone? SHe has had these problems in the past and is going to the doc on Tuesday to talk about them (previously schedualed)... but till recently we never heard fo celiac disease so never made any conenction to Wheat Flour.

There could be a chance you all have it...or if you all don't have celiac then there could be sensitivity to gluten. It does seem suspicious that she didn't feel well after eating something with wheat.

I think it's very easy to start thinking that every time you or somebody else feels bad it's due to gluten. I definitely wouldn't assume celiac just from this.

However, if neither you nor your wife have been tested, you should be. All first-degree relatives should be tested.

I have been (see my sig), and we plan to get her tested. Even bought her pop tarts to eat every night to keep some gluten in her system till the test.

Since celiac is more common than originally thought, it is very possible that your wife has it, too. She should stay on gluten, and get tested. It does sound like she had a dietary reaction to the wheat!
