Started with allergic reaction when i ate 2 bites of a vegetarian pizza, went to an allergy specialist and did a skin test in Barrie, ontario and said i was allergic to wheat.. Cut wheat out of my diet and had a allergic reaction to Gluten free bread as well i ate a steak salad from pita pit with no dressing i just mixed up mayo and mustard had an allergic reaction(salad consist of spinach,romain,tom,cucumber,green peppers, dry steak) went back to alloergy specialist 8 weeks later and skin test again and they said wheat allergy negative.. they said i can eat wheat cause first test was slight allergy. have not eaten wheat since that was october. what is going on... i have to drink Benedryl and eat clonazepam when i get symptoms because i have panic attacks when i get a flair up from food?? anyone going through this? cant work from anxiety and i feel awful was too scared to eat now eating somewhat, feeling low and fatigued.. cant concentrate to work or stomach feeling too sick to leave home. please any suggestions

I was tested for Celiac and it came back negative. Even so, i am gluten sensitive and can't eat any wheat, oats, barley. The test may say you are ok but you can still be sensitive to these foods. It could even be the mayo that made you ill. Mayo does not agree with GERD/reflux/ibs for many people because it is high in fat. Try to stick to low fat, natural foods if you can. I had to cut out chocolate, greasy foods, many salad dressings made with oil and fried foods. It is often trial and error and we learn as we go what we can and can't have.

Please describe the allergic reaction you are having when you eat these things.

IBS is something I have lived with for 40 years, giving up all gluten, dairy, meat and sugar in all forms have helped 95% of all symptoms, however, anxiety and panic attacks aggravate it.

For anxiety 10 mg. of Valium helps tremendously, better than the IBS drugs, with fewer side effects, and relieves the pain and helps me relax and sleep better.

iBS is your body telling you that some foods will make you sick, and stress will make you feel sicker. Figure out what needs eliminated and deal with your stressors, even if meds are needed.

Listen to what your body is telling you, it knows what you need to change, but radically changing your diet is hard, but you will feel normal again.
