My grandson was just diagnosed with Celiac disease and the more I checked into it, the more i realized food allergies can cause a million different problems.  Go to an allergist!!!  Celiac's disease (gluten/wheat intolerance) can cause the symptoms you have.  Check it out!

Gluten intolerance is a problem for many - young and old - and it's unfortunate that more people - doc's and individuals alike - don't have a clue about this condition. It may or may not present with 'typical' symptoms and is often overlooked by doc's when they do a workup. The other unfortuante thing is that the tests to detect the presence of celiac issues are not 100% perfect.

I'd like to chime in on what you said, zmombomb, and add an additional suggestion. If people think they might be celiac or believe they have problems with gluten, give a gluten-free diet a try for several weeks. It's not as hard as it sounds and it just might solve the 'what is wrong with me' question for them.
