Well, I just came back from the doc. I was tested for food allergies (which I understand are different from food intolerances). I cannot tolerate wheat gluten but I found that I was allergic to, of all things, tuna, crab mix, tomato and apple! I would have NEVER GUESSED! I told the doc (this is a new one) about my IBS and he took a blood test to test me for celiac disease. (Heather you even told me I should be tested, so thanks!) I have been on a "diet" for the past week of potatoes and rice with a little chicken (white meat only) and a few finely chopped up vegies and so far everything has calmed down (which is a BLESSING!). Does anyone know what the celiac blood test consists of? What they are looking for? I meant to ask my doc but I wasn't thinking at the time! The doc also told me that if the blood test confirms celiac then that is followed up with a scope test and biopsy... (oh joy!) Any good websites you can recommend for me to read about celiac? Thanks!
