Gluten free doesn't mean carb free. We have a ton of carbs in every meal that we eat.
correct, thats why i mentioned i was low carbing and I don't miss the bread. there are carbs in everything i.e. Green beans,tomatoes, carrots... but if you know what they are then you can adjust and limit them or avoid them altogether.

I watched Forks Over Knives a little over a month ago and the wife and I thought we'd try the plant based diet for a month for shits and giggles. It's been great and I really haven't missed meat at all.
keep it up, your body will thank you. Try making your own cashew cheese (cashews, white beans, almond milk, soy sauce, spicy mustard, garlic/onion powder, nutritional yeast)

My wife has bad stomach issues and has recently gone gluten free. many of her stomach issues are gone, but she has headaches now...
Headaches are better than the alternative. Imitrex turned out to be a good pain med.

Celiac disease is a myth. At least it was with the one person I came across that claimed to have it.
with that sample it is hard to argue.

It doesn't cause you to immediately drop dead.

I eat as many carbs as I want in the form of fruits and vegetables.

I wish you great luck, and keep us posted. Who knows, we may form FDB gluten free society.
thanks... I will definitely do that. And you're right... And with the group effort, it would be helpful.

I don't think I could ever fully go GF simply bc I love dining out so much (and beer) but I have completely stopped buying bread from the grocery store... and cheeses.

Two months ago my mom's gastroenterologist put her on a diet which eliminated certain kinds of carbs, including wheat,lactose,fructose,and fructans. It immediately made her feel better, but I am exhausted from all the extra cooking. Everything except one kind of gluten-free cracker has to be cooked from scratch.
Today we began the process of slowly reintroducing groups of foods to find out the worst culprit(s). I am starting with chicken broth with onion and garlic powder. Cooking or buying food without onions and garlic is really hard!
Gluten-free is actually not that hard to prepare if you like vegetables, potatoes, and rice. For mixes and prepared foods, there are many more choices available now, but it is very difficult to find much if certain other carbs like honey and soy are to be eliminated,too.
My mom misses her morning toast the most, but she's learning to love steel cut oatmeal with walnuts or natural nut butter added to it.
