As a bit of a test, I hit the gluten rather heavily yesterday. Bagel, lasagna, wheat tortilla enchiladas, etc. While I've been feeling pretty crappy for a couple months, last night was something...

I'm not currently gluten-free. In fact, my diet is rather heavily slanted towards wheat at the moment. I've been feeling pretty poorly for the last couple months and have had occasional IBS-like symptoms for around 6 years. The recent D that wasn't going away as it used to and unintentional weight-loss sent my to the family doctor. I was then referred...
