Wheat sensitivity or gluten

Hello,

how does one know if they have wheat allergy or gluten? 
I know gluten is in wheat so the normal blood test can pick up if you are affected by gluten which is in wheat but how does someone know if it’s wheat as the symptoms seem similar?

When your doctors (or you) suspect celiac disease, they are looking for antibodies in your blood.  Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.  The small intestine is destroyed by your own body.  Gluten just “turns on” the attack process.  
 

If you have a wheat allergy, you normally produce a lot of IgE which can cause symptoms like swelling, hives, drops in blood pressure, anaphylaxis.

      Oats gluten free?

      The oat protein, avenin, is not gluten. It is similar to gluten, however, and similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D? I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza. In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?
