I urge you to look it up before you state that conclusively. It can, and it did.

Yes, yes, and yes. All of this will be easier for you once you have some sort of diagnosis - whatever that is. Crohns and celiac can be treated, as can other conditions. And hopefully your treatment will allow you to return to your activities soon. Good luck!

Sounds like there is definitely a correlation between gluten and your symptoms. Perhaps consider keeping a food/symptom journal, and if you haven't been tested for celiac, it may be a good idea. FWIW, those you listed were some of my symptoms.

The biggest surprise we had was bagged shredded cheese. It was a store brand. Apparently, according to some researchers and my son's reaction, powdered cellulose can be derived from gluten sources. I got glutened on Halloween using a glitter spray in my hair that had no obvious gluten ingredients... Otherwise, it's been a big learning curve, with quite a...

You're not crazy. We cut gluten from my son's diet at age 4 due to the chronic constipation, stomach pain, and reflux. Imagine my surprise when it curbed his massive separation anxiety. It took two years, but we finally reached a diagnosis of celiac disease. Now I can tell he's been glutened by behavior first (he gets that separation anxiety first), then...
