I developed a wheat allergy after getting quite sick and dizzy after eating bread.  Now I am afraid to eat rice, or anything that could be contaminated with wheat.  Altho I have eaten rice pasta and nothing happened.  After a week of being grain free I am starting to feel better, altho today I did get that weak shaky feeling so many have complained about.  It lasted most of the morning and is finally gone, hopefull it will get less and less, didnt have it for two or three days until today.  I am still awfully gassy if you know what I mean, hopefully this will subside soon too.  I do eat mostly fruits and veggies, once in awhile chicken.  I have done tons of reading on this subject, was wondering if anyone had a reaction to sugar?  For a few days I did have some diarrhea, but that has also stopped.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you are diagnosed with Celiac disease?

Do you have any diagnosed conditions? Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis? UC will flare up with sugars and grains in rare cases, but you would probably notice streaks or drops of blood and mucus in stools.
Celiacs can also develop Diabetes or have thyroid issues which could lead to issues with grains/sugars. Celiac disease can also leave you open to a higher risk of SIBO  or Candida which would cause bloating or gas with sugars/starches like grains, beans, fruit, sugar.

You can still get the above issues without celiac disease, and you can get food intolerance issues or sensitivities. I can suggest keeping a food diary for now, record what you and and limit your diet to whole foods only, Seems like your following a paleo diet with no grains, you might take it a bit further. Diary is a common issue so removing that and the Keto/Akins diet routes would limit your carb intake to help with bloating, by using fats/protein for fuel instead of sugars/carbs.

We normally suggest those who come in and suspect wheat is a issue to their health to see about getting tested for celiac, if your allergic to it the testing would be impossible as you have to eat it for 8-12 weeks prior.  But the protocols and stuff in the Newbie 101 section can help you track down culprits of wheat/gluten sneaking into your diet still.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
