Why Do I Have Stomach Cramps After Having Bread?

Hi, I have been feeling unwell for some time, aching joints, cold like symptoms and my ankles are swollen so bad it hurts to put them down in mornings.......now I have noticed terrible stomach cramps when I eat bread! Could I be wheat intolerant? If so is there a test my doctor can do to find out if I am? Many thanks for your reply in advance Karine

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the finding of you being unwell for some time , joint pains, cold like, swollen ankles to the extent that it is difficult to put down on waking up, now have severe cramps in abdomen on eating bread. Want to know whether intolerant to wheat and what tests to be done.
All the symptoms that you have noted indicate that there is a symptom complex like autoimmune disease and thus indicate that you may need an opinion of a Rheumatologist so that you will be investigated properly and treated as per the clinical evaluation and tests reports.
Stop wheat products till you are fully investigated.
