I admit that I did relent very recently and ate some bread, it never tasted so good!<br />I definitely think its better for our systems to have a gluten reduced diet. I am going to see how things go as ultimately I would think it be beneficial if I could return to being gluten free. <br />Thank you for your Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982008616271168616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653310479111760480.post-26670485849857301812011-12-29T22:11:39.611-08:002011-12-29T22:11:39.611-08:00I gave up gluten 2+ years ago, and it was the sing...I gave up gluten 2+ years ago, and it was the single best health decision I ever made. Seemingly unrelated issues went away, like my autoimmune thyroid disorder (I no longer require drugs to keep my thyroid balanced), blood sugar and cholesterol improvements, elimination of sporadic breakouts, improved allergies, no more sleep disorder (I no longer snore), and improved general well being. <br /><Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481202549790966218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653310479111760480.post-10305755591901402572011-12-02T11:59:31.246-08:002011-12-02T11:59:31.246-08:00Hi Nazia,

This condition is not an allergy but rather an autoimmune disease. Your body makes too much of this certain antibody and when you eat gluten you make more so it results in very itchy fluid filled rash bumps as well as upset stomach.

However, I have eliminated dairy from my diet fairly recently and have seen amazing changes in my acne. My face is almost clear!! I have also been drinking hot water with lemon first thing in the morning. I would definitely attempt eliminating dairy if you think you can. luv2smilexohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714874033938994201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653310479111760480.post-34041833351711936682011-12-01T17:31:03.210-08:002011-12-01T17:31:03.210-08:00I feel for you.

It involved a lot of me sitting and watching my friends eat. <br /><br />I know that a friend of mine recently got some detailed allergy tests done and it turned out she had intolerances to a number of foods, so it may be a combination morelikespacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579614920085665069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653310479111760480.post-34079661518289773882011-11-30T16:23:46.954-08:002011-11-30T16:23:46.954-08:00Echoing everyone else, thank you for sharing this ...Echoing everyone else, thank you for sharing this experience Replica. I'm sorry it's proving somewhat ineffective (at least for the time being) and I admire your resilience. It will be interesting to see if the second month yields different results.

I have read a lot about coeliac disease and gluten and to be honest, as far as I'm aware, unless you are actually allergic to gluten, it doesn't affect you in any way. Going gluten free will not give you the benefits you're looking for.

Very cute. I think that gluten gets blamed for a lot of things and not always fairly. It do think cutting back is a good idea but if it can be miserable to cut it out altogether. It will be very interesting to see if you do experience a breakout during the 2nd month.<br /><br />I echo Nazia's words.
