A gluten allergy is a sort of random choice given your symptoms: not impossible, but based on what you said, not the most likely either. In other words it could be any number of things, from a food allergy to a parasite.
You could always try cutting out gluten for a couple of months and see if your symptoms improve, that’s the best test. I’d also follow up with your doctor. Best of luck!
]]>Hi Stella,
What you describe are classic allergy symptoms.
These are the sort of symptoms that traditional allergy tests are more likely to catch, so you can try them. See them as a guide; don’t rely on them 100% because they are not 100% accurate.
Meanwhile, look for cause and effect.
You say you think it is a gluten allergy. Do you only have such symptoms when you eat gluten-containing foods? What if there are certain other foods you only eat with gluten-containing foods?
Try to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead, create a short list of suspects, then narrow it down by seeing if each food on it’s own causes symptoms.
Be aware that you may have more than one allergy, so there may be more than one food causing symptoms.
Hope that helps.
