Gluten allergies were never spoken about when I was a kid.......Now it's claimed be so widespread. That alone makes me suspicious.

Grains are good because they give you fiber. Fruit & vegetables do too, but at a higher price.

If someone is truly allergic to gluten, they could always eat oat.

Course you could always get allergy tested.....It isn't difficult or expensive. Ask your doctor to request it so insurance will cover it.

3 pages before my name came up LOL Sound slike he needs at least an abdominal CT, that way yo ucan see if its something like chrons or ulcerative collitis. I dont think it would be C. Diff he wasnt on the abx that long and is an otherwise healthy person. Cipro an dflagyl are the prefered abx for dealing with issues in the gut (at least thats what we use)

my suggestions would be a CT scan and a GI referral, not sure if they would need to scope you from above or below.

Genetically modified wheat and more processed/gluten-laden foods (by the pounds per American per year) would account for that. That and when you were a kid we didn't know what gluten allergies were.

Grains are not good, fiber is bullshit and a myth. The only fiber you ever need can and should be obtained through vegetables. Fiber is just another bullshit word put out by the processed food industry. Kinda like "heart-healthy"

yeah, after my experiences diagnosing my issues, there is a lot of shit that can go wrong down there. Hell, you could find a number of different cancers early instead of just following internet advice.

True, in the ER it can be tricky, do you scan every person with belly pain, of course we cant/dont, but their primary doctor can set one up or refer to a specialist. We are looking for emergent problems first like appendicitis. If we can rule that stuff out then our work is usualy done and you have to follow up with a specialist or your own doctor.

All this diet stuff is more a diagnosis of exclusion, rule out othe rproblems first befor emaking that diagnosis, thats how serious issues can be missed.
