and also just a general wheat allergy (different from celiac, which is a gluten intolerance auto-immune disorder). The watery eyes and headache and such are not IBS. You may actually have IBS and celiac or a wheat allergy as well. Some people have more than one disorder (not fair, I know!). But the good news is you can tackle all the problems simultaneously as what helps one isn't necessarily harmful for the other.
Let us know any diagnostic results you get and we'll help you work out a game plan.
Best, Heather

Legalgal,
You have a great positive attitude in all of this...I'm sure you'll do great! Please let me know if you find you have celiac...I'm going down the path to discovery myself at the moment! If I can be of any help, please let me know! Thanks, and take care! *hugs*

Thanks for your input and your help to work out a plan. I am going to go for testing next Thursday for food allergies. After that I think I will talk to my doc about being tested for celiac and let you know what I find out. Thanks again!
