    Excellent article! Thanks!

    Okay so after going gluten free I had an improvement in some symptoms and then others got worse. So after a little online research I decided to go lectin free as well. I'm in my first week of that and feel a huge difference although the diet feels very restrictive. I'm going to start challenging things soon and hopefully will add a few things back in. ...

    Totally agreed. This is an issue I have dealt with for decades. People just don't get it that very think people are also self conscious of their weight/size. That some of us cannot help and do not 'purposely' strive for it. Clothes shopping is also a nighmare at that size. I have also found it very hurtful and would not wear shorts, skirts, etc that show...

    I have always been underwieght. I didn't break 100 lbs until in my twenties. Have never weighed enough to give blood, etc. Basically it has been normal all of my life to be too thin. I'm 5'3 and have generally weighed about 103 lbs. I have gained 8 lbs since going gluten free about a month ago. So for me gluten has apparently been an issue with...

    I tell you what stumped me for awhile was how maltodextrin is ok but dextrin is not.. the 'malt' in the name just raised red flags for me.. LOL

    I personally found that a few big problems got better when I went gluten free and then started to see that other issues like fatigue, bloating, irritability, headaches, etc starting getting much worse. For me it was an issue of once I cut out gluten I increased other foods that I cant have either. I am in my first week of going lectin free as well and...

    This would really bother me too. It's unfortunate that some people just dont take care of themselves and even more unfortunate that others see that as an example WE should be following instead of the other way around. Just keep doing right by yourself. That is really all you can do. Michelle

    I have a quick protein and a fruit most days. So like a payday candy bar or almonds or a spoonful of peanut butter and any serving of fruit. I'm not a heavy eater in the morning though.. I just like a little something and then a snack mid morning and an early lunch..

    ok.. I must just be seeing the change. Just wondered if I did something I wasn't supposed to without knowing.. LOL Thank you~

    In posting today I have noticed that my posts are being moderated. May I ask the reason for this? Just kind of confused.

    Protein. You mention the pizza and brownies but that is more junk food. Try high protein shakes.. (will need to research for gluten-free status) and aim for 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. I have always been underweight and this is what I was told to do. How long have you been gluten-free? I personally have found that I am...

    I cook dinner every night so I set some aside and go ahead and pack it up for my lunch the next day. In the morning all I have to do is grab my bag out of the fridge and go. As long as you have access to a microwave you have a lot of options. Leftovers make a great lunch and I dont feel bad about eating roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and corn...
