I recently went to a low carb diet and when I reintroduced wheat into my diet (whole wheat low carb tortillas) I gained weight and felt rather tired and irritable..I went off the wheat....then about 2 weeks later I tried whole wheat crackers (just 5) and the same thing happend...I went to my dr and told her what happened and between her and I searching for an answer we came up with a food intolerance to wheat. I may have had it as a child or I could have developed it as an adult but it is becoming more common to be diagnosed with food allergies or intolerances. I have now cut out wheat from my diet for 2 weeks and have lost 4 lbs. I even eat carbs....nowadays there are so many options for those that need special diets. I went to whole foods and got crackers and pasta and pizza dough made with rice flour. I have cookies and rice cakes and I even eat popcorn and corn tortillas. I feel better, my tummy is less bloated, I don't have as much gas and my period this month is much better (I get horrible cramps).. I am in awe and just letting others know what happened to me (I am 36 just finding this out) and maybe it could help others.
