I was on a low carb diet and did not eat any breads for the past month and I felt great! My stomach pains, bloating, and constipation, and lethargy went away. As soon as I began introducing bread in small amounts back into my diet, I started to get the same symptoms again that I have had my whole life. I am thinking it is an allergy or intolerance. I have talked to my doctor in the past and she said to try an elimination diet to see what is bothering me...which I did.
Are there tests that say which it is?
Best answer:
There is a blood test for food intolerances called the Elisa test,usually alternative minded doctors use it in there practice.If it bothers you then avoid it,there are plenty of alternative grains,wheat is not a good food for the vast majority of people,you do not have to be a celiac to be allergic or intolerant to wheat.I suffer from wheat and gluten intolerance myself and if I ingest it get severe stomach pain,bleeding and a flair up of IBS symptoms,but I am not a true celiac.Use rice,quinoa,corn,amranth and millet and avoid wheat,a low intake of grains reduces gut inflammation because grains have a disacharide starch which inflames the gut.
