Now that my digestive system is functioning properly, the peripheral issues that I was dealing with have all faded. I was having mental, pancreatic, and energy problems in addition to the gastric disruption. That has all faded now, and I'm no longer on any of the meds that I was on before.<BR/><BR/>I've heard of people who go gluten-free for a variety of non-necessary reasons. I, however, am in full agreement with my doctor/nutritionist: Don't go GF unless you NEED to. It's a huge lifestyle change, replacement foods are often difficult to find, and often the GF foods taste bad or cost a fortune or both. Proper nutrition becomes a factor as well.<BR/><BR/>The only reason I can do it is that if I don't, I get horribly sick.

Have you seen a big change now that you've removed gluten from your diet? I actually have talked to some people who don't eat gluten because they follow the 'eat for your blood type' book and they believe it's helped tremendously. It is hard to make changes but it eventually becomes second nature. I need that discipline!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753321180455688060noreply@blogger.com
