Yes, I would love those black and white test results, because my family just thinks I'm being weird. But I am now 100% positive that gluten is my problem. After avoiding it for all this time, I had some instant mashed potatoes last friday (given to me by my mom, bless her) that were contaminated, and I am now just beginning to feel somewhat better. I became extremely bloated and constipated, rashed out all over (especially on my arms and my back) and had horrible indigestion. The only thing that made me feel any better was some ginger tea.
I have been seeing around the internet people talking about a supplement called RevitalX...anyone have any experience with this?
