The majority of the time I tend to follow a low carb lifestyle with intermittent fasting and rarely have processed food. I do break it occasionally usually if we’re eating out / as a treat.
I’ve been so busy lately having to cook a separate meal for me has become a PITA so I’m now having a couple of family meals stew and dumplings / pasta dishes and some days the family eat carb free / sometimes I add a carb portion for DH and DCs.
Some days since I’ve not been cooking for myself I’ve been feeling very unwell. My stomach swells massively and I’ve been in agony with stomach cramps. This was happening on and off and after looking into ingredients I noticed every time I ate wheat flour I had these symptoms.
I decided to go back to low carb and have been for a month. This weekend just gone we went to a afternoon tea party. Sandwiches, cakes, scones, pastries. I will admit I did eat quite a lot. My stomach immediately swelled and I started getting cramps. I was in agony, after a few hours the cramps stopped. My stomach is still swollen now, it has gone down a bit but I still feel very bloated 3 days on.
Does this sound like a wheat intolerance? Is it worth visiting the GP or should I just omit it from my diet?

Possibly a wheat intolerance? Is it worth seeing a GP?
