Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annb" data-source="post: 2281819" data-attributes="member: 25851">I used to think I might be gluten intolerant, but I did ask a doctor about it years ago at the Glasgow homeopathic hospital while I was there for tests.  I was told not, but was warned that wheat may absorb chemicals during growth, which could be a problem. However, they didn't diagnose diabetes, which I now think I did have at that time.  I was also tested, at another stage, at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow by "the top man in Europe on allergies", who told me in the first 2 minutes of our meeting, that what I was suffering from was "neurasthenia" - all in the mind in other words.  By that time I was aware of difficulties with sugar in particular and up 6 times every night for the toilet, but that wasn't taken into account.When I was checked for the bowel issues (after diabetes diagnosis) they found cancer - early stages, so not difficult to deal with.  That's why I was a bit concerned when my 2 year checkup didn't happen due to coronavirus.I do like bread and sugar very much, and I appreciate that that could indicate an allergy.  I do manage not to take sugar of any type and I try not to eat wheat, but am still very tempted and give in from time to time.  But it isn't just wheat that pushes the BG up.The worst thing for my bowel seems to be some vegetables - and cauliflower seems to be the worst of the lot (melon used to be an issue as well, but I no longer eat that due to sugar in it).  Cucumber is not an issue though.I often think I am too absorbed by health issues and should just get on with life and ignore diabetes, cancer and all, but when thing go very wrong, I change my mind.</blockquote>
