I have tried going off & back on gluten a couple of times & that also lends some validity to the theory. It could explain a lot of issues I have had over the last several years including anemia, irritable bowel syndrone and problems with my skin just to name a few. I am worried since this is a very difficult diet to manage since gluten in in so much of the food we eat. I have started learning about it from searches on the web, but any wisdom or guidance anyone could offer would be appreciated.

I posted a reply to your original post back on page 41.
Here is my reply if you didn't see it.
First off. Go to the doctor and find out if you are or not. They can give you lists of things you can and can't eat and give you a better idea of what to incorporate into your diet.
Now based on what I know from my sister, the nutritionist, this may even help your weight loss simply because you'll be cutting out alot of carbs if you are in fact GI. Having GI almost forces you to eat a Paleo type diet. A simple natural diet is your best option with a lot of fruits and veggies since you won't get much fiber from alternative grains. If you have GI you have to be very dilligent, gluten is in alot fo things I'm sure you know. If it says malt it has gluten in it. Most condiments have gluten, and most processed foods. So lots of fruits and veggies. And alternatives if you want pasta or bread but they will be simple carbs normally and low in fiber and not to mention not very tasty. In the weight department having GI can be a sort of blessing but it will indeed make life difficult.
Hope that helps girlfriend!
