What Causes Chronic Pain, Lupus Symptoms?
Can you still have a serious issue with gluten...wheat,soy ect but not have any test come back with celiac disease... except for monoclonnal protein. I am 43 years old, weight 130 lbs, chronic pain....lupus/RA symptoms, but all test come back negative. I did test positive for wheat, soy, yeast and coconut. I am feeling better since trying to eliminating these from my diet...but so many hidden.
