I too have an intollerance to wheat/gluten. Finally found that was the trigger for my IBS.Specialist I saw, who finally diognosed my Fibro asked if I had IBS. So they obviously go together and Coeliac is a Gluten intollereance. Funnily enough, they diognosed my husband with that before they finally found he had MS. He stopped his wheat free diet years ago, and never had any real adverse symptoms from doing so. Having read lots of different lterature it seems they can all be put under the umbrella of Autoimmune (sorry know that's spelt wrong, but can't for the life of me see what!!) disease.Which comes back to a post earlier in the week. Is FM a disease or a condition. Think it is a 'chicken & egg ' thing!! best wishes to all. Sue.x
