I am guessing that you've been tested for Celiac. If not, see my post from a few months back; i had a hyper sensitivity to gluten for over 3 years and found a fix: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15699841

That's awesome that you got that cleared up.

I have (had?) fructose malabsorption. I could digest sugar fine, but high fructose foods (HFCS, apples) not so well. My theory is being celiac my body attacked my small intestine and messed up digestion there. It could have been a gut bacteria problem, but I saw that more as a symptom of the underlying disease.

I didn't even mind that part so much. Sinus headaches were killing me. I thought I had brain cancer. Cutting out foods that trigger those has been my quest over the last 5 years and I have a pretty good handle on it now. Apparently chronic sinusitus is common in celiacs and it's pretty understudied.
