Gluten is not the Problem

Back in late February my digestive system was tied in knots and, in other ways, making me feel awful. It got to the point where I would cancel plans because of it.

I thought perhaps it was an allergy to gluten. I recently became allergic to poison ivy, so why not gluten.

I went on a gluten free diet for a couple of weeks and have come to this conclusion: I am not allergic to gluten. What I cannot do any more is majorly disrupt my eating/sleeping routine. Big NO NO for me now.

When the gastric upset started I was deep into the Olympics…staying up late, sleeping late, not eating on the usual schedule. It was about the time the Olympics ended that I started gluten-free. My symptoms went away to where I was before the Olympics. If the reason had been gluten allergy, the pre-Olympic symptoms should have disappeared. They didn’t.

Without going into details, what I think I need is a probiotic of some kind. I’m going to get tested to see if that is the case.
