    I would not hesitate to try and remove wheat from the diet to see what happens. I was diagnosed over 1 year ago with celiac disease. Since being on a gluten free diet my asthma is gone. I would have multiple flare ups that required steriods, antibiotics and nebulizer treatments. I have not been ill at all in over a year. My LDL went down 30 points within 6 months on a gluten free diet. I had severe PMS that is now gone too!
