I've put on a lot of weight over the years following a high-fiber low-fat diet (with exercising constantly), the diet prescribed to me by my GI for IBS and duodenal ulcers. This diet has done nothing for these issues. Because of my gastro-intestinal symptoms, hypothyroidism, sinus infections (I get at least one a month), and recently high CRP and Sed rates (tested due to muscle and joint aches and pains), I decided to take matters into my own hands and go gluten free (doctors see no reason to test me for celiac since I'm "obese").

I've been gluten free since January 3, 2011. Working hard to repair my poor digestive system from all the damage of my former lifestyle. I'm currently following a (mostly) paleo lifestyle. I'm off the PPIs and even Pepcid. I've lost a couple of pounds. I believe a gluten free diet will finally resolve a lot of health issues.
