    In case anyone is curious, and perhaps for my own need to think outwardly in a forum that understands... my allergist was not helpful. He did recommend a vit d level which proved I was deficient.

    Hi, I am new. I have had food issues for as long as I can remember and things have worsened in the past few months. I recently saw my PCP and had her check a celiac panel.
