I visited a new dermatologist who suspects I have a gluten allergy due to classic signs and symptoms, including a stuffy nose after eating at restaurants, a rash on my elbows, fatigue, and low energy. My cousin and her son also have this allergy, affecting their digestion. I felt better on a low-carb, high-protein diet. The dermatologist took a skin biopsy, and I will have the results in two weeks. What should I do while waiting for the results?

I'm 29, turning 30 in September. I was held back a year in preschool and had an awkward grade school experience. I'm currently enrolled at Tarleton State University in Texas with a 3.84 GPA. My problem is that I struggle socially, especially in unfamiliar or large group settings, feeling pressured to speak but not wanting to. I also have involuntary muscle movements and difficulty maintaining eye contact, especially with authority figures. I relate to my brother, who has Asperger syndrome, on many levels, including quick learning and social awkwardness. I want to know if I might be on the Asperger's spectrum and if I need medication or therapy for my symptoms.
