Food and Drink You darn gluten - Page 2

ChiefRocka · 08-03-2012, 08:31 AM

Anyone participating in a gluten-free diet? Anyone notice a difference with respect to food allergies?

Beer these days is really ****ing my skin up (I know it's sad, I love microbrews). Thinking about switching to some gluten free beer and see if it helps.

No beer? My glob, man. I could not survive.

You could try an elimination diet first. Slowly add back food till you find out what makes you feel crappy. Could be something like dairy.

If you're on a gluten free diet, its about a 50/50 shot you don't need to be on it.

No wonder its a 7 billion dollar a year industry.

Never said that.

Good chance the issues could be environmental. The fact that this person told you to cut out all of these and not just try one at a time should raise a red flag.

She did say that. I was giving an overall view of what was going on.

Hope that works for your little girl.

My diet is inherently gluten free. I can't tell you for sure if it was the gluten, but pretty much every bodily function of mine has got better.

Did you go out and start buying "Gluten Free" stuff or do just avoid it all together?

I've been on a gluten free diet for almost two years now, but I have an actual gluten sensitivity. It used to screw with my stomach/digestion something terrible, but the last straw was when I got a small bowel obstruction because of it. That's actually dangerous. Whether or not you have a gluten allergy, cutting it out of your diet will do nothing but good for you.

My wife has been doing it for three years. She would get some nasty headaches, but after going gluten free, they went away.

lol. We still don't know but we feel better about it huh?

Get a new doctor (coming from someone who probably has as much experience in this area as anyone on this board, kids and drs.)
