Going gluten free

[Kali]

10. Get tested by a real doctor.

Too many fads going around and gluten intolerance is one of them. Jumping to conclusions could be worse than whatever is really wrong. Stomach pain is one of the most common symptoms for JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

Celiac is real, but the numbers of people who actually have it are quite low.

On the plus side, the benefit of the gluten free fad is there are lots of processed food products on the market now for people with problems. Of course processed foods are more likely to be a problem no matter what "healthy" claims are made on the packaging.

Maybe eating healthy in general would do more for you than following some extreme diet. Start with protein at every meal, then try to get 5 servings of colorful vegs and fruits every day. For carbs try whole grains in small portions at each meal and limit processed food like white bread, and most every delicious thing at drive through junk food places. If you fill up on protein and colorful vegs you won't have as much room for the crap, but you can still enjoy small amounts without feeling deprived.
