Thanks for this comment. At this point I think it's not likely that I have a gluten problem. I do have bloating and gas, but it will blow up even when I've eaten nothing. My reflux seems most aggravated by the water supply: when I was on vacation in DC I had reflux all day every day, but when I was on vacation in Portland I had not a problem. ANd rather than being unable to keep weight on, I am grossly fat.

Thank you for the information, though- I am chronically ill and if there's any chance that this could be something treatable, I jump at it.
