Hello all.. It's been almost a week since I did my personal gluten test (eating pizza), and my stomach still doesn't feel 100%. Any clue how long it takes to feel better after being "glutened"? Thanks, Sal

So what do I do? Let my body get used to it, or get off gluten again (for good)? Do these symptoms I'm getting now PROVE a gluten sensitivity?

Day 2 of being back on gluten. In pain, and having cramps and "D". I NEVER had these problems before going off gluten. What did I do to myself?

It was just one cheat meal.. but it was good! lol It was amazing especially because I've been gluten-free and dairy-free.. I killed two birds with one stone on that meal.. hehe.. But although I'll be back on gluten, training starts again in the new year and no more pizza's for me... I've actually recently started wearing that type of material...

really?? Ok, let me get this straight.. is a gluten-free diet healthier for everybody in general? Or just people with possible sensitivity to it? I have to admit I was feeling a little down today, which I heard was a possible side effect.. I'm gonna give it time and see how I feel. I'm starting to regret going off gluten. Thank you for your input again...

Hey Linds... well, it's the day after.. my stomach is kind of hurting a little but I think it's just from overdoing it a bit, haha. Also, to be fair, I never actually had digestive problems.. my gluten free diet was an attempt to rid myself of my acne. The funny thing is that my face is completely clear and looks very healthy. This 'back acne' problem...

Hi portgirl, Actually I've been dairy free also but it hasn't helped. Maybe because I'm a guy I don't have these hormone problems??

Maybe I'll try that then. I've started back on gluten. I enjoyed a big pizza today and I guess I'm just waiting to see now how/if I react in any way.

Merry Christmas!! You're right, I actually haven't been eating those, but I will keep an eye on that ingredient in the foods I eat. I think it's actually pretty amazing that you've been able to narrow down your source of acne to a single ingredient. Is there a process you went through to find that out? I'd love to be able to pinpoint my troubles.

Hi linds, are you having the same problem as I am? After reading all the comments I've decided that I AM going to reintroduce gluten into my diet. I'm basically going to dive right in with rolled oats and maybe pizza (I'm getting excited just thinking about it). I'll keep monitoring my energy level and acne and see how it goes.

That is exactly what I'm thinking! The biofeedback test straps these bands around your head and wrist and this machine apparently reads your energy. I've never actually gotten a blood test done.

Honestly, no. I've read many symptoms people have on this forum and on websites, and I exhibit none of them. Some of the foods I'm apparently 'sensitive' to are (other than the gluten containing ones): Black Pepper Bananas Strawberry's Soy It's really hard cutting soy out of your diet, it's in almost everything. And after a quick check now, I...

Wow! Sugar free huh? So other than obvious sugars, does that also mean excluding fruit and, say, rice and potatoes since they eventually get converted into sugar? I hit the gym 4-5 times a week, and after a workout, a simple sugar (fast digesting carb) is needed to recover from the workout. So it will definitely be hard for me. Thank you for...

Hi tarnalberry, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I cut out all gluten containing foods and switched to all natural sources for skin products (I use all Burt's Bees now). I should also mention that I've been dairy free too. If I do reintroduce gluten containing foods to my diet, should I start slow? Will I be more sensitive now that I've been off them for...

Hello All, I've been to this forum many times, however, this is my first post. Quick intro - I'm 26, male, and have suffered from back acne since about 13 years old. In late October (this year) I went and saw a naturopathic doctor regarding the acne on my back and some general fatigue. I eat very healthy and exercise daily. I did a "Quantum BioFeedback...
