It helped me so much, and I lost 15 pounds in 10 days. I'm not shitting you, probably a lot of bloat.
Had to go back to gluten to get tested by an MD - but after that I don't care what the results are, no more gluten. I quit craving carbs and quit overeating altogether.
My favorite substitutions:
rice noodles or bean threads for spaghetti (in the "asian foods" aisle)
you can actually buy a rice crust frozen pizza - i think it's "Amy's"
corn tortillas
rice flour - still wanting to make bbq pork buns, but there are some "bread" recipes out there
Yeah it's a little limited, but the improvement to my health (skin, scalp, bowels, weight, mental attitude) was worth it and I would have continued. My appt is next Wed - i hope i get some info, at least for my family's sake.
