First time bloating, am I allergic?
I ate eggs with Quorn (wheat based fake meat) and within 20 minutes I was swollen! Like 6 months pregnant size! Couldn't breathe and at work. Ugh. So my co-workers went to go get me a Zyrtec (non-drowsy allergy medicine) and a ginger brew beer. Within 20 minutes I pooped and within an hour my belly went down. Was it the meds or the ginger that helped? Or perhaps the bathroom visit? Did this mean the dreaded thing? Am I allergic? Well I hadn't consumed any wheat in about 2-3 weeks and then in the prior 2 days to the major 6 months pregnant bloating episode I had a bunch of wheat crackers and chips with wheat without any reaction. So at that point, sometimes there was bloating with wheat and sometimes not. So now what? I stopped the wheat/gluten completely. It's been 3 weeks since I quit again. Well now I am bloating with everything I eat, including carrots and celery!! There's no gluten in those! So now what? I went to the doctor...I'll tell you about that in the next post.
