I just received the newsletter today and as you know it's got an article about CD & IBS and how to modify the diet for people who are GF.
I've gotten much WORSE since starting the IBS diet and I suspect it's due to the high amounts of wheat/gluten products I've been eating - for the first time in a long time. I have been tested for CD and also had the blood test for gliadin and gluten antibodies and all of it was negative.
However, I'm willing to try anything at this point and my symptoms are definitely getting worse, not better. I have a few questions for all of you GF folks out there before I get started:
1. How long will it take on a GF diet for me to know whether it's working or not? A day, a week, a month?
2. To clarify: the SF/GF grains/flours are: quinoa, white rice, tapioca, potato starch? Millet, amaranth and buckwheat are also safe but higher in IF? What about sorghum and teff?
3. What does a "normal" day in your diet look like? Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks...
4. What do you do while traveling, eating out, in a rush...?
Thanks so much for all of your input.
Chris
