Celiac Disease or Wheat Belly
I have Celiac's and can tell you for sure that a wheat-free diet is essential for me. I can not eat wheat, rye or malt; it will "kill" the villia in my stomach which causes the loss of nutritional absorption that we all need for a long, healthy happy life. It is not always easy to diagnose. Many doctors will assume it is IBS or other. I had an endoscopy for the final diagnosis. I do have to say, Celiac's is talked about more, so it is at least something many have heard of now. However, there are those who are wheat intolerant and for them, the symptons may be very similar. This is just an FYI! Hope it helps someone.
