Anyone Eat a Gluten Free Diet?
I'm considering it. After my acupuncture visit, I'm really thinking about it. The acupuncturist and I talked about how gluten and dairy affect a lot of people (I'm at my wits end with bloating) and I'm willing to give it a go. I bought "Living Gluten Free for Dummies" today to just find out why people do it, how it changes your body, basics on things to swap and avoid, etc.
I'm curious to know if anyone has adopted a gluten free lifestyle and, if so, how it's changed your body.

i did gluten free last year at the recommendation of my nd. we also did a gluten tolerance test...sad to say, i should not be eating gluten. anyway, i lost almost 20lbs in 3 weeks...it was crazy. i didn't realize i had so much inflamation in my joints or bloat. i could actually see sexy muscles
i felt a lot better too. more energy, etc.
Thank you Kini!
I avoid wheat, but eat other gluten contatining foods like spelt and kamut. I was never tested for Celiac's or anything but do notice I bloat and my eczema gets worse when I eat wheat and diary products. When I cut out wheat (along with several other things) I too, lost about 20 pounds. I have a pitiful food blog with some wheat free (but not gluten free) recipes. Link in sig.
My naturopath has a book, which explains why people get bloated and experience other problems. Gluten and dairy are just a part of the problem. Actually, DH and my sister went to see him and is doing his eating program right now.
If you're interested, I can give you the title and his website. GL!
Thanks ladies! I'm going to give no dairy and no gluten a try and see if I feel better. It's worth a try! I don't *think* I consume much dairy, but I do have 1 cup of milk every morning when I make my latte. What's a good substitute? I do NOT like almond milk, that I know. Maybe Rice Dream? Giving up cheese will be tough since that is the one food I'd choose to live on if I could.
Chika, if you wouldn't mind sharing the book title and website, that'd be great! Thanks!
you could use heavy whipping cream since all the proteins and sugars are stripped out...it's just fat. i use coconut milk A LOT, love the taste and leaves your coffee super creamy...you can also cut it with water.
