Do I have an allergy to wheat and/or gluten?

Asked by melanie81 (794points) September 11th, 2009

Over the past couple of months, I’ve noticed that eating wheat berries makes me feel INCREDIBLY bloated and gassy. I seriously gain about pounds for a couple of days when I eat it. Most recently, I had a veggie sandwich on sprouted wheat berry bread and I felt terrible for the rest of the day!

I used to not be so sensitive to foods, when I used to eat lots of greasy fast food and crap. About 10 months ago I became vegetarian and began eating more whole grains…maybe I had just never eaten wheat berries before then?? Then I toyed with veganism about 5 months ago…lost weight from it and felt FANTASTIC, but now that I’m going back to a little dairy, I’m having a hard time digesting it as well. Do you think my body is just adjusting to all the changes?
