I have yet to test wheat, but I'll soon find out whether I have that sensitivity. I do know that when I eat a lot of pasta, I can't stop. Freakishly enough, food cravings (particularly for the food one is sensitive to) seem to be a common symptom of sensitivity.
I do not touch artificial sweeteners with a 30-foot pole, and I try to avoid all hydrogenated fats and most refined sugars (esp. high fructose corn syrup) as well, so I'm well ahead of a lot of people. Aspartame is evil.
I now know to avoid corn for the most part, and will make exceptions for fresh-popped with real butter at the Brattle or the Somerville, and corn on the cob at barbecues. :)
