Thankyou so much for your replies. I have been gluten, dairy, egg and soya free for 5 years, and am mainly symptom free following an extremely strict diet but still symptoms flare up again and I have to do an elimination test to determine the cause.. basically my intolerances are still developing and I've found I can't eat: apples, grapes, raisins and other dried fruit, spinach, potato, tomato, onion, cabbage, leek, broccoli, mushroom, oily food, coconut oil, pork, sulphites, alcohol, spirit vinegar... I have difficulty breaking foods down, especially the skins of fruit and veg. I have been trying to reintroduce gluten in order to have a reliable ttg blood test, but I'm in so much pain.. abdominal spasms, joint and muscle pain, bloating etc etc, this is all from having half a wheat crispbread. I'm not sure if this is celiac or something else as there seems to be no sign of it getting any better. 

I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, kidney pain, headaches, and mouth ulcers. I've been told it's IBS, I think it's more than that... I've been sent to a gastroenterologist who tested for coeliac, if course it came back negative because, as I told him, I haven't eaten gluten for 5 years, he's asked me to eat gluten for 4 weeks and redo the blood test, so I've tried small amounts of crispbread for 3 days and am in agony, I can't do this for 4 weeks and then however long it'll take to recover. Has anyone got any suggestions, and is multiple food intolerances a common side effect of coeliac? I'm struggling! And struggling to be taken seriously 😒
