My new gluten-free LOVE! (uncompensated LOVE) |
Why? You may ask. As a non-fan of jumping on the bandwagon, why go gluten-free? It's just a fad, right? Well, maybe, maybe not. There is a lot of discussion and so-called scientific evidence to support both sides of the argument around gluten-free.
So I decided to be my own guinea pig.
So here is what I've found thus far:
- I have no trouble finding gluten-free foods that I love
- I miss my morning whole-grain toast just a little, but yummy gluten-free granola makes up for it
- Day 3- "stuff" in my head that has been there a long time seems to be breaking up. That's good, right?
- Adding my daily Fiberwise is a good idea (which I've been a little lax on these 3 days. That's how I know.)
My goal is to feel better. Thyroid disease is kind of kicking my butt and traditional diet and exercise, yoga, changing/adjusting meds and other stuff doesn't seem to be making a difference. So this is the next thing on the list. I plan to stick with it initially for 1 week (half-way there) and see if it is a positive change. After that, we'll see.
What is your experience with gluten-free? Does it work for you? I'd love to hear your responses.
