Do you have Celiac disease, or did you just decide on your own that wheat is unclean?

There are a few things other than Celiac disease that cause problems with wheat; I've never been able to get a solid diagnosis other than ruling out Celiacs but I know if I have too much wheat, especially in the form of light fluffy baked goods, I get very tired and cranky as well as having digestive issues. It could be an additive used in commercial baking because I seem to be fine with no-wheat gluten and some forms of wheat,but pragmatically avoiding wheat helps me.

  Could it merely be sugar crash from metabolism and starch breakdown? A lack allergies or what not does not imply that it's healthy to stuff your face with it all day. EDIT: nevermind, acconrad described the same thing 3 hours ago.

  This entire thread is like a WebMD page. Somehow a food coma resulted in a Celiac disease diagnosis. Not that it's impossible, but it's certainly implausible. Sounds like your lunches include a bunch of carbs, too much sugar, and/or maybe a drink or two. If it happens frequently, habits form. Get real, guys.

    But there isn't a way a doctor can sell drugs they get kickbacks for that... Plus what would the carb, sugar producing companies say!

    I didn't say I have Celiac disease. I said, since I quit wheat, I never get food comas. I used to get them routinely. I don't know WHY I don't get them. Celiac is not the only issue wheat can cause. I feel fairly confident in these results. I tested wheat in isolation, repeatedly. I've tested other variables: carbs, sugar, dairy. None of them ever gave me a food coma, in the absence of wheat. It seems completely reasonable for me to avoid wheat, given the results of my experiments. Why are you so certain I must wrong?

Don't tell me you don't know that gluten, along with any form of sugar or anything else outside the paleo diet,, is not hacker-halal. You should be eating strict paleo or keto lest you die early, bloated and tumescent like that kid from Akira after he started mutating.
