This makes me wonder. I suspect I have celiac's disease because anytime I consume gluten I have all of the unpleasant symptoms. I asked my GP whether I should get tested so that I could treat it and he said that if I've already solved it by removing gluten from my diet to just do that, because that's all the testing is going to tell me anyway.
However, there is one condition under which I can eat bread et al: when I've been riding bikes all day. I've never been quite sure what to make of it, figuring it could just be because I'm more dehydrated than usual, or higher metabolic rate somehow allows me to absorb nutrients that I would have a harder time handling while sedentary. Now I'm wondering if being flooded with endorphins just prevents or masks the inflammation associated with celiac's.
I wish there was more treatment available than a strict GF diet, because I really love all things stretchy and glutenous.
