Gut health hurts in so many different ways and is caused by so many different factors. You got great advice here. I might suggest researching an endoscopy for celiac disease. Since you are already wheat sensitive and you have diarrhea, that points to celiac symptoms. There are blood tests that can indicate celiac, but biopsies of your small intestines is THE ONLY true diagnosis. But, if you do get the endoscopy, it is imperative that you eat gluten just like you always have, even a couple of days, gluten free, can alter the results and you may get a false negative. It's an extremely important step, but the endoscopy is one of the easiest tests I have ever done. Also, your blood tests can be negative, don't let the doctor talk you out of the endoscopy. You can be seronegative and biopsy positive. Also, ask for the biopsy samples get DNA tested. My celiac was a complete shock, since I didn't have the common symptoms... but the DNA gave my adult children a concrete reason to request the endoscopy and their DNA tests. Good vibes going forward.

Yes that is so true that people in this forum are really really knowledgeable. I did the test 15 years ago and the doctor said I don't have Celiac disease, though the gluten intolerance symptoms are quite similar to that of Celiac disease. I got rid of soy sauce which contains wheat ingredients recently and see whether it will get better. Some shop sell gluten free soy sauce. I am very careless about what I eat because my stomach has been really good. But my intestin is more sensitive. Thanks a lot for the advices. I am getting older guess I can't be so careless any more.
