This was mentioned by someone else but the best way to be totally sure if you suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease is to schedule an appointment with your doctor. There are a couple simple procedures and you will know for certain.
The scary thing is there are all sorts of diseases that are being linked to gluten intolerance such as depression and cancer so if you have the slightest suspicion that you are have a gluten intolerance, it is worth having it looked at. The cool thing is, if you are diagnosed, it isn't that difficult to live gluten free and you will continue to feel better each day and have more energy to do the things you love! All the best!

From the experience of friends, family, and personally, most doctors do a poor job at diagnosing gluten sensitivity. They do an IgE skin prick test or they do an invasive biopsy which may detect villious atrophy which is only a possible subset of gluten sensitivity. Many Integrative MDs are pretty good at diagnosing gluten sensitivity. Of course, the cheapest way is to get off the gluten and see. However, many of us want those black-and-white test results.

I'd like to add that nightshade vegetables are very difficult for many people to tolerate.
I discovered potatoes myself making my neuropathy worse! Nightshade veggies can be quite problematic. Chili peppers, regular peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes are something to watch out for. http://www.nightshadefree.com/nights...ergy-symptoms/ http://www.allergyreliefexpert.com/nightshade-allergy/ It is not just gluten out there making people ill!
