Kyle, by the way. I found these comments when I was searching for gluten allergies: http://health.usnews.com/articles/h...-cure-for-some-a-fad-for-most/comments/2I have to agree! After being TORTURED with massive migraines 4-10 times a month, I attempted a gluten free diet to see if it would help. Within 2 months my living hell ended, and the migraines vanished. I had no other symptoms, and no doctor would test me for gluten intolerance. I know what worked, though- so I'm not going back! The reason why Celiacs usually gain weight on a gluten free diet is because their disease causes malnourishment as a result of exposure to gluten. I am not a Celiac, nor am I allergic to gluten, but I found that a diet low in or free of gluten reduces my migraines and cleared up my sinuses, and, incidently, does tend to keep me extra slim, mostly because I choose more "live" food like veggies, roots, and fruits when I want a carb instead of filling up on bread-like substances. But to each her own. I tried going off dairy and that did nothing for me at all even though I was allergic to it as a kid. Every "body" is different and no one diet will be right for everyone, so the only people who must be obsessive about being gluten free are Celiacs, for whom gluten is like a true and real poison. of So you see how grains containing gluten can be notoriously bad for people and cause all manner of symptoms? Mercury from amalgams can be one reason too, either directly by it's toxicity, or indirectly by what else goes wrong because of it. It was essential that i gave up sugar/wheat/gluten and yeast in order to get relief from symptoms and that included severe headaches. For those with more serious candida problems? They may need to reduce or eliminate natural sugars also in fruit and high carbohydrates in all grains, carrots/potatoes/peas/corn/beans, milk etc. But that depends on level of severity. Simply cutting out the sugar/wheat/gluten/yeast can be enough.
