I have for the longest time been slightly sensitive to gluten, but over the last few months it ramped up. What I thought was lactose intolerance causing incessant coughing, bloating, acid reflux, IBS and stomach ache, and pooping 10 times a day with loose stools was, in fact, gluten causing these symptoms. I should add I am lactose intolerant, but clearly it was not the main culprit. So I went totally gluten free. Now I cannot tolerate any gluten what so ever. Yesterday I had a very small bite of a sweet chocolate coconut bar, small because I didn't want to bump up my sugars,  only to find that the coconut bar contained gluten. Within seconds I was coughing and then I was throwing up. My daughter tested positive for coeliac when she was 16. It manifested when she was just 3 years old. It took years before they could confirm Coeliac. The thing is how on earth do you get tested for Coeliac if you can't keep it down long enough to be tested? And yes, gluten is in so many things, both in food and non food products like body care products. Edit for a typo and sorry about the bold type face I can't undo the bold! </strong></h4></blockquote><p></p>
