[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. Op here. I don't suspect celiac. I have random inflammation that I'm hoping to manage. I'm working on acidic food now but not noticing a change. I'm giving that a few weeks and trying to figure out what to try next. [/quote] Before giving up gluten, standard recommendation is to get tested for celiac; the symptoms can be unclear (any combo of ~200 symptoms or none at all, https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/symptoms-of-celiac-disease/), so even if you don't suspect it because you don't have obvious GI symptoms, it's worth asking about a blood screen first. The reason is that if you do go GF, and it makes you feel better, it will be difficult to later assess whether or not it's due to celiac bc all the tests require the person to be ingesting gluten at the time - which would mean going back to feeling bad or worse. [/quote] Thanks, that's helpful. My doctors are less than helpful and they think they've tried everything so I'm doing a lot of trial and error ony own. They don't think it's diet related at all, but I figure it can't hurt to try things for a few weeks at a time. And I'm losing weight in the process which can't hurt![/quote]
