I too have been inspired by Cat to get my A into G again and try and kick off these extra kgs. For both vanity reasons and the other :) For me though and our family it won't be GF but a definite change in how much wheat etc we take in - and then making sure it's not the highly processed stuff!! <br />I've been reading a few running magazines too which are interesting re: carbs etc. Good carbs and bad ones. I think in general our culture has been taking the convenience road too liberally and forgetting that food is as much about fueling our body needs as it is about taste! Time for more effort! Let's go for a good power walk soon (minus the coffee!)!!!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338253666992441869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-73507030070341128112010-09-20T12:25:56.232+12:002010-09-20T12:25:56.232+12:00I work with a woman who is gluten intolerant and e...I work with a woman who is gluten intolerant and everything she brings in for us to try is absolutely yucky.

This may sound funny but I found my mood was what really changed...gluten made me feel agitated. There are times when I might have something with gluten once and a while, but it is certainly not everyday, because i can't. I even tried a little experiment eating reg. bread for a few days, and the headaches came back and the agitation came right along with it!!! CRAZY but TRUE. Can't wait to see what you experience...note that your body may go through some withdrawals the the first day or two may be tough. It may not happen for you but just in case I wanted you to know that that is normal. Withdrawals can bring headaches, fatigue, irritability. Just hold on and they WILL pass.<br /><br />love and light!!<br />YOU CAN DO IT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-44349192787408644002010-09-20T11:26:21.896+12:002010-09-20T11:26:21.896+12:00Good for you love!

We both experienced the typical symptoms of gluten intolerance and Katie tested pos in her blood labs as well.<br /><br />I cannot express how life changing living GF has been. We feel GOOD! We have discovered tho, that apart from the obvious like flours, bread and pasta, our food budget does need to be overly more. We stick to what is naturally GF for the most part.<br /><br />Good luck with going gluten free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940553413759896971.post-10101324125419227542010-09-20T10:56:09.078+12:002010-09-20T10:56:09.078+12:00Hi Simone, I am so pleased your daughter has got r...Hi Simone, I am so pleased your daughter has got relief for her tummy troubles from going gf. It is such a hard thing to get started on but worth it if it helps. As you know I have been gf for a year now (due to suspected coeliacs) and it is a long learning curve. THe testing for coeliacs is pretty poor and endoscopy with biopsy seems to be the most reliable (although I am resistant to this). Low iron levels are an indication that the body isn't absorbing nutrients due to gluten too. As for the expense, yes it is more expensive but because it forces you to use foods that are more wholesome and made from scratch it also means you spend less on processed foods/ takeaways because those options are too limited.<br />Good luck with your trial!!! My hubby made a gf caramel square yesterday and it was DIVINE!!!!!
