Here is Karen’s story about how she discovered that she was allergic<\/a> to wheat<\/a>:<\/p>\n When I was allergic to wheat my family doctor was on extended leave, the replacement doctor kept telling us I had mono. After several negative blood mono tests, he was still sure I had mono.<\/p>\n I slept for twelve hours at night, as a child the teachers let me sleep in class, at my desk. I complained that they made me walk outside at recess, some days the walk outside was too tiring. Being awakened to eat, and stomach pains to sore to eat, I was sick.<\/p>\n My family doctor came back and I was diagnosed with food allergies<\/a>. After a few days off wheat and many other foods, I became normal again. I out grew most of my allergies only to have a child who is highly reactive to milk<\/a>, and one with a minor intolerance.<\/p>\n
