If you make several changes at once, you will have no way of knowing which food you actually have a problem with.…

  • Beware that there can be hidden gluten in some meats, used as an additive. Deli meats and canned meats are some of the problem meats. With having such a restrictive diet, it would be best to simply discuss it with your doctor. She/he can help you come up with a plan. Make sure to log everything you eat, so if you do have…
