I avoid Sugar, Wheat/Gluten and Dairy and this is why??

I have to avoid Gluten/ wheat - why - because it stops my body absorbing nutrients it irritates my colon and causes a host of complaints;

    * Diarrhea
    * Constipation
    * Chronic indigestion
    * Chronic bloating
    * Poor appetite
    * Abdominal cramping, pain, and distention
    * Mouth ulcers
    * Lactose Intollerant

Its also know as Celiacs disease, now many have the test and are told it comes out negative, even though they are displaying symptoms.  There is a form of this which is related but shown with eczema, dermatitis, and other skin rashes or symptoms along with the tummy troubles, which will not show up on a normal test given....an exclusion diet will solve this if worked hand in hand with a dairy exclusion diet as together dairy and Gluten/wheat causes lots of issues if you are indeed intolerant - candidates most likely to be prone to the intolerance, are those suffering with ME, CFS, FM, and Autism, ADHD and other illnesses of the same nature.
