I’m part of the 1% of people that acutally has celiac disease. I shake my head when people tell me they’re cutting gluten out of their diet “to feel better.” You’ve felt fine! Cutting gluten out isn’t going to have any impact on you. I’d kill for a real piece of pizza and a beer. The gluten-free options are awful (I’ve tried them all).

I have tested negative for celiac disease but wheat causes problems in my gut. After a trip to the emergency room about a year and a half ago, I have almost completely given up wheat. Much better now. I have always been extremely allergic to beer, I had never connected it to wheat/gluten before.

That's a tough road. I do not envy you. I gave up gluten once, long before it was trendy about ten years ago. I was going through some hypochondriac phase due to having to have some moles removed and some other crap. Anyhow, I was pretty crazy for about six months. (: I got a little fanatical in my diet and giving up gluten was one of the by products.

Gluten is in damn near everything. I think I was down to about 20 things I could eat.

I don't remember if I felt better or worse. I certainly OVER ATE less and I think overeating is the culprit of many of our problems more so than any one thing.
