just an fyi-- i'm eating all of the wheat i want currently and I have never felt better... but with me, its probably b/c my gallbaldder was messing me up before... I even had real toast for breakfast and feel OK. I'm still constipated, but my doc never thought that was related to eating wheat... I started eating little bits, but finally said forget it and now I am happy as can be. I'm going to work today! I'm taking a lunch with a turkey bagel! It's sad that this is so exciting, but I really, for once, feel fine to leave my house:) Wish me luck all day!

I eat spelt bread (one piece white followed by one piece dark), dried cereals that contain oats, barley...
I still don't feel any different than when I ate GF, but I am now taking Acacia so that may be interfering with my experiment. That is a new factor in my diet.  So, who knows if I would feel now feel better without the acacia or if I would have felt better eating GF but taking Acacia!  Does that make sense?
What else confuses me is the fact that my antibodies tested positive 3 times! What are the odds of having 3 false positives? And after going GF for 10 months, my test came back normal. This makes me believe I should be avoiding gluten...but then I come back to it didn't seem to make me feel better...just more C instead of D.
I wish the doctors could give more definitive answeres about this!

Are you eating whole wheat breads or white breads? Hmmm, I just don't understand how doctors can take such a different stand on the gallbladder issue. I've asked 4 and none think it should come out...but you are feeling better with yours out!
Enjoy the wonders of wheat! And think of all the money you'll save on GF products.

My surgeon didn't even blink about taking it out. I met with him and he said "whats your med history" to which I replied " A LONG history of belly pain..." and we discussed it all. He said he can't promise to take all of my symptoms, but could help some. I gave it a shot and it worked. No one even warned me about NOT taking it out... so I was confused to hear about you! I guess everyone is different, and honestly--they aren't sure how bad i have IBS, if at all... so I'm in a different boat I guess. And yes, the $$ I'm saving is well worth it!
By the way, I'm eating white bread--whole grain is tough on normal people's belly, so I'm sticking with white for awhile... I'm so happy to eat all of this again-- I'm still being healthy, but the thought of going out to eat is so exciting. I am feeling like my life is back... so for me, it was well worth it. I am so glad no doc ever questioned it for me! Hang in there...it's bound to be figured out!

Augie,
I'm curious. Did you look to see if your blood test included a test for Transglutiminase? I could be wrong on the spelling and I"m not getting off the couch to check! Thats the test my doctor mentioned as being much more reliable.

...but with 4 different doctors telling me "NO, don't take it out", I'm just so leery.
I wish I had gone to your doctor. Keep me updated on how you're doing! Oh, to be normal again. How do you determine if taking out the Gallbladder will help or if it is just plain ole IBS?
