Try removing wheat from your diet for three or four weeks. If it's an unrecognized sensitivity to exorphins in wheat (which act on the opiate centers of the brain) you could be getting reactions from opiate receptors screaming for more wheat to anesthesize the brain centers that contain opiate receptors. It's a new finding; see Dr. David Williams book Wheat Belly, please.)

The pains you describe are readily recognizable in his analysis of patients he has seen who were not considered serious candidates for pain therapy by their general practitioners. Those folks recovered and consequently had relief very quickly once gluten was out of their systems.

(The exorphin is a break-down product of gluten metabolism and is turning out to be very harmful for humans in more ways than I can recall at the moment; but pain, headaches, etc., are very much part of exorphin toxic status in the brain.)

So many possibilities, huh?
