But this can't be used to indict the diet. Note that it was dietitians that came out against the gluten-free diet. They are mouth pieces for the food business. They have an incentive to keep people buying the highly profitable wheat. (Low labor foods = high profit.) The diet we all should be on is the one our bodies evolved to work best on. This is the paleo diet. The dietitians don't like this one either. Not enough carbs and too much fat for them. But it you want to avoid the diseases of civilization it is the way to go.

I hope it's getting better! http://www.celiac.com/articles/22117/1/Side-Effects-of-a-Gluten-Free-Diet-and-How-to-Manage-Them/Page1.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1279267/Giving-bread-make-FAT-Why-gluten-good-you.html Everything in moderation right.. I think if you're careful with what you eat, then its ok.. Like crappy brands of pet food use rice and corn and stuff as filler, which makes the animal gain weight because its filling and not nutritional.. So it depends on what you're subbing gluten with. Like instead of 1 piece of bread you eat 7 bowls of rice.. then there may be an issue :) As long as you're getting the nutrients and vitamins you need, then all is well :) I hope you're doing ok though! :) xx Hayley! How is your stomach? I hope it’s getting better!
