Being one who was positively diagnosed as being wheat allergic over 25 years ago, I never followed up on the tests for gluten intolerance. Now I am wondering, being mostly Irish, if in fact I AM. Guess that is something I need to bring up with the gastro next time there. If the biopsy endoscope test is anything like my colonoscopy from hell I'll have to have general anesthesia to get through it. Ug. I would hate to think that this IBS was caused from undetected celiac disease.
