@shah78, you are the first person in the month or so that I have been posting to say your list of symptoms is similar to mine in more ways than just one or two. I will definitely look up the starch challenge, however, I am fearful that it is going to be "gluten free" as I'm already lactose intolerant and although it could be the cure to all my ills, I've never had the time or energy to put into such a radical diet.
What I mean is, a diet which means daily preparation, or even daily visits to the shops and time spent thinking and planning is difficult, if you are already experiencing symptoms of no energy, symptoms many people on this forum can relate to because they have ME/CFS, and doing that extra dietry stuff each day can be foreboding.
Hence, despite numerous health issues, I have never managed to try gluten free diets at all, and there is a lot of bread and beer, pasta and all the other glutens throughout my diet.
