:tongue: I was recently diagnosed with a wheat allergy and my doctor told me that I needed to go on a wheat free/gluten free diet. My doctor also told me that by being overweight my wheat allergy was effecting my small intestines giving me IBD.

Since March 1st, I have completely eliminated all wheat/gluten products from my daily diet. I have also paired this with light exercising and healthier eating. I have lost 23lbs in a month and a half but most importantly I feel 100% better which is what really makes the difference!

    Good for you! I recently gave up wheat/gluten due to an intolerance, and I have dropped about 14 lbs. since the end of February. It is amazing what can happen when you stick to the right diet for your own body!

    I usually keep my calorie intake to about 1300 a day which was actually very hard for me to reach once I eliminated wheat. I eat mostly fish, rice, veggies and fruits. On top of that, I really enjoy the simple things like ground hamburger with light seasoning. I guess it helps that I was a very picky eater before the whole intolerance issue. After eliminated wheat, a lot of options like fast food were also eliminated. I have to remind myself to eat a variety of foods. I find myself sinking into the same cycle of eggs, fish, rice, veggies and occasionally some fruit.
