The big G

[evoluez]

I've been gluten free for about a week. It's hard to discuss this with anyone because most people think the whole gluten thing is just another passing diet fad, or I'm just a crazy hippy over-obsessing about my diet. So I'll write about it here. I've done a lot of self experimenting, and have definitely come to the conclusion that gluten affects me

Maybe you actually have a gluten allergy.

Send this info along to mom. I can't reply to her anonymous comments. It could also be sugar. Gluten effects everybody, whether they notice it or not, and I think I'm a particularly sensitive person. I could live feeling dull and tired and foggy but I don't really want to. And the one-two punch of carbs and sugar (and fried foods. Donuts!) doesn't help either.

But I'm still experimenting. I don't want to be that annoying guy that refuses a warm steamy loaf of bread.

It could also be the sugar that affects you. Many things with gluten also have sugar (donuts, pastry,etc) Josie and I saw a movie about the affects of too much sugar in the diet. It was like too much McDonalds, not good. Hope you are feeling better.
