Because lately I’m sick pretty much any time I eat, and after I developed lactose intolerance this past April a friend told me to watch out for gluten. I thought he was joking so I didn’t pay attention, but this whole being sick thing has been on and off since Thanksgiving and I’m a bit worried I should maybe think about scheduling an appointment with my doctor.

With me, it was sudden. I’m the only one in my entire family with anything like this. It was very sudden, I saw a new doctor for a physical, she noticed that I was vitamin D deficient 2 years ago, and told me about this disease. Then she asked if I had been having any bowel problems, to which I said yes, because I’ve always had horrible gas (which has been present since… being 9 or 10.) and lately had been… irregular I guess. So she told me to try this diet, tried it, and realized “holy cow, I feel BETTER”. I never knew I didn’t feel good to begin with!!! So I’ve been on this diet since June/July of this year, and with it, an allergy to wheat was discovered. I don’t know how I’ve been surviving, but I binged on wheat foods for 3 days and had an anaphylactic response. If I have just  tiny bit in an isolated situation, I’ll have hives for weeks. I’ve also had upper GI pain lately when I eat. I have other signs and symptoms too but I have no idea what’s going on most of the time. Contact your doctor :/ What do you mean by on and off?
