    I have celiac disease and have eaten gluten free for 17 years.

    I have been wheat free for 4 years, I'm allergic but I do not have celiac's.

    There's a group of us over here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/112-gluten-free

    I'm gluten free and was diagnosed with coeliac disease 2 years ago, after many years of symptoms. Better late than never though, the diet has made me feel so much better, even if eating on the go can be a pain in the butt. :)

    I have been off gluten/processed carbs for a few months ago. The coconut oil really knocked out the IBS that I had off and on for 40 years. Yesterday I did eat some pasta for the first time in four months. Nothing really bad like before but I feel so much worse energy wise today running on glucose as my main fuel. Clearly running on ketones makes me stronger and with a more clear thinking vs the old days living on processed carbs for the most part.

    After getting on the coconut oil I have eaten fried chicken many times without that amount of flour triggering any issues but after my pasta experience I know gluten is not my friend. Actually by leaving off gluten the weight loss started to a degree on its own and there has been no gaining of weight.

    There are gluten free groups. Lots of folks are gluten free. Why do YOU want to be gluten free?

    signed: some, but not a lot.

    Yea I'm sure it was the ditching of gluten and not lowing calories that caused the weight loss... Oh and your body runs better on ketones than on glycogen? Dude what are you talking about? You either have Celiac's (less than 5% of the population) and you're actually allergic to gluten, or you don't, and the gluten making you feel bad is completely in your head...
