That sucks, but at least you have an idea of what it might be.
I'd agree with shmokes on that. Swear off wheat and gluten 100% for, say 3-6 months. If it makes a big difference, you'll have your answer.
And it's only a few months.
Just be thankful it's not an allergy to HFCS, that crap truly IS in everything!

I tried, but I just cant feel sorry for you. Perhaps this is Kharma's way of saying stop being such an ---uvula---?

My wife is a coeliac. She was undiagnosed when we met and a few visits to the docs proved fruitless after she had felt ill a few times. Finally picked up by her doctor at home when she was on a break from uni.
It's really simple to manage once you get used to it. Pretty much the only things in the house that aren't gluten free are my loaf of bread for toast in the morning and my beer :D (there are some good gluten free ales too, so that's not a worry if you like a beer)
We make pizza bases using gluten free flour etc and there are alot of decent gluten free alternative products available now (in the UK at least).
The only times it can be a problem is eating out or visiting friends. Friends will obviously do their best and most restaurants will let you know what is gluten free or ask the chef for you. Some places here are now labelling their gluten free stuff.
Don't worry about it, it's not as big a deal as it seems when you are diagnosed. Don't try to "get away with a little bit" because the way the disease causes your body to react, will cause the same reaction as if you ate a whole loaf. Cut it out completely.
Zakk:
Maybe stop elbowing sandbags.
I've never elbowed a sandbag, and man, I feel great and well rested 24/7, and I'm a raging alcoholic.

You should Watch Food Inc. if you haven't already. It truly incredible how much Corn products (i.e., HFCS) makes its way into 10,000 of products on the shelf... Yeesh! And corn is super subsidized in the states allowing the big 5 food prdictuibn companies a steal of a deal when buying corn...
