the key is to drop it! the sooner the better! just get it all out of your house. throw it away or give it to a friend. it's easier once you get the gluten out of the house. Then you just have to restock your house good luck!

Welcome, Tiff!

I agree, cold turkey is the only way! Throw it away, give it away, whatever you have to do to get the gluten out of your house. For some new food ideas, check out the cooking tips section on this message board. There are other vegans on the message board who can give you more ideas.

But please, get rid of the gluten now. Every time you eat it you are damaging your intestines. I read on this message board that it can take 6-8 weeks to heal after eating gluten. You will eat gluten accidentally, especially at first, so please don't deliberately eat any more.

You just have to go cold turkey, you can't keep harming yourself...

Good luck, and stop, well start today and don't look back, I just feel lucky I have something wrong with me that I can control, I don't need drugs to feel better, it is just a matter of eating right, we should all consider ourselves lucky not to have some other horrible thing wrong with us and be at the mercy of the medical profession to make us feel better or cure us.
