I've recently found out that my horrible allergies were the result of gluten intolerance. I'm still working on finding things that don't aggrevate this, and I'm scheduled to be banded next week. My surgeon did an EGD last week, and found some erosions, and scarring that I was no aware of. I'm guessing that I've been irritating my system for a long while now, without even knowing it.

Any others here who can't eat the wheat? Does it make things more difficult after surgery? They've moved up my surgery date, so I'm feeling a little...frazzled.

I've pretty much been self-treating by sticking to a low-carb, paleo sort of diet.

I can't - ie been anded 7 years nd off wheat six months. It doesn't make things difficult at all! In fact I'd gien up do many wheat based foods anyway.
