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.

I was diagnosed when I was in college when I was 20. It’s much easier to manage now than it was over 15 years ago. Labels are much better, and thankfully most items list allergens in the food. Also, better restaurants are aware of it and can substitute around it.

I just hate that cutting out gluten has become a trendy thing to do.
