Hi Cora Sweetie,
I'm answering between *****marks******* - otherwise I won't remember what I want to reply to.

> One thing that confuses me is fiber ... so often fiber is 'wheat' and yet you shouldn't have wheat.(?)**********There are lots of sources of fiber other than wheat. If I were you I'd steer clear of wheat for at least a week & see if it makes a dif. More on that in next paragraph. One book I have, Prescription for Nutritional Healing (an amazing resource for those interested in being proactive in an alternative way with their healthcare) lists the following:
"Fiber: oat bran, flaxseeds, psyllium seeds & Aerobic Bulk Cleanse (ABC) fro Aerobic Life Industries. Take as directed on label. Take SEPARATELY from other supplements & medications. Has both a healing & cleansing effect. Avoid wheat bran, as it may be too irritating. Eat a high-fiber diet including plenty of fruits & vegetables, plus whole grains (especially brown rice) & legumes (example, lentils, peas). Use supplemental fiber. Psyllium powder regulates bowel movements & should be used daily. Also use oat bran & ground flaxseeds daily, on an alternating basis."******> I've had cravings for 'wheat' in the last 4-5 months. Not sure why. Just can't seem to get enough Triscuits and Wheat Thins! A doc thought celiac dz should be ruled out, butt . . .
********LOL - is that extra 't' in the but done with a grin?!
Celiac is gluten intolerance. Gluten is in wheat, rye, barley, oats. I think ruling celiac out is a good idea, however I think they do it by taking a biopsy of the bowel, which is maybe why you added the extra 't'!!!
I have gluten intolerance. It can be a strange condition. In my case, when my Mom began to introduce cereals when I was 9 months old I got sick & so it was diagnosed. I was what they called in those days (I'm 59) a "banana baby" as I was raised on ripe bananas & cottage cheese & skin milk. Until I was 5! Can you imagine only having those foods for ones body to grow & develop? Yikes. Anyway, around 5 they introduced wheat & I ate normally for years. In my early 20's my Mom died of cancer & I had a my Dad was sick with silicosis & I was personal assistant to a deaf-blind woman with MAJOR psycological problems, as one might well imagine! I think it was the stress, but at that point I got sick - bad stomach pains, etc. Of course I thought I had cancer! being me, who thinks EVERYthing is cancer! Anyway, I lived gluten-free for decades. A couple of years ago I discovered an amazing holistic practitioner who my daughter was going to for environmental illness. He asked me if I'd like to be free of celiac! I thought "oh yeah, as if". But I can now eat a piece of pizza or a couple of cookies, etc without problems. I don't "push it" by going overboard. I
