I find the more wheat I eat, the more I have these symptoms:

Cloudy urine

Headaches

Muscle tension

Nausea

Irregularity

Soar throat

Mucus build-up in throat/nose

Sore glands in neck

Depressed mood

Heartburn

I've been tested at a naturopath for food sensitivities. Wheat and every other grain he tested were absolutely out, but I've never been to see about Celiac's.

If it is Celiac's, why is it important to stay clear of gluten other than feeling well?

This really sounds more like a sensitivity to dairy products to me. What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is an immune system disorder that results in damage to the lining of the small intestine when foods with gluten are eaten. Glutens are a form of protein found in some grains鈥攏otably wheat, barley, and rye. The damage to the intestine makes it hard for the body to absorb nutrients, especially fat, calcium, iron, and folate. Celiac disease also may be called celiac sprue, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, or nontropical sprue.

What causes it?

The exact cause of celiac disease is not known; however, inheriting or developing certain irregular genes increases your susceptibility. You are more likely to have these abnormal genes and develop celiac disease if you have a first-degree relative (mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter) with the condition. In some genetically predisposed people, environmental factors, possibly viral or bacterial infections, may cause changes in the small intestine; then, eating gluten can trigger an abnormal or irregular immune system response, resulting in celiac disease.
