It's definitely worth a try. Apart ...Hi ELiza<br /><br />It's definitely worth a try. Apart from anything else, I have found that the things I don't eat anymore are mainly cakes and biscuits, which are really of no nutritional value. It hasn't been hard to stay gluten-free - once I got into the habit of it - and the benefits have been so great that I am not tempted to go back. <br /><br />It's worth buying gluten free flour, to make your own bread, pizza, pancakes, etc and gluten free pasta, but a lot of the other things in the shops - bread, biscuits, etc, are overpriced. I recommend Ryvita - if you find you are ok with rye gluten, as I am. I am not so sure about oats - I love them, but I don't think I tolerate them too well. <br /><br />I am interested to hear how you get on, so please do let me know. If you are careful with your diet, you should see an improvement in your health (mental and physical) within a couple of weeks. Watch out for 'hidden' gluten in things like sausages, and gravy granules... Try not to eat too many crisps and chocolate, which may not contain gluten but won't help your health in any case!<br /><br />And try to go for a thirty minute walk each day, just for the fun of it, if you don't already. It will help with digestion, and with mood.<br /><br />All the best, LouiseSchizophrenia at the Schoolgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839755338912448705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317925651753639985.post-48423428282710338292012-04-05T10:30:26.725-07:002012-04-05T10:30:26.725-07:00I've been thinking about doing this as well.I've been thinking about doing this as well.JustElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576780670208531276noreply@blogger.com
