I'm a celiac and I'm also sensitive to a lot of other allergens that lurk in processed food. Ingesting gluten (by mistake, of course!) makes me vomit within about ten minutes but other food items like spices - which often contain food colouring or preservative - usually bring me out in a rash or give me diarrhoea. I've just come back from a holiday in Malaysia...

Anyone tried "the torch test"? This one was explained to me by my Gastroenterologist, to help work out what I am - and am not - sensitive to, because it can be so confusing to begin with, when you've first been diagnosed as a celiac. When you "do your business" each day, shine a torch on the water and it should be crystal clear, no cloudiness, and everything...
