Not sure if it's going to help me lose weight, but it might.
I have been battling stomach issues for a while now....seems like forever, but I've defintely noticed a difference since Jack was born. By that I mean, I eat and I have to use the bathroom very shortly after....I won't go into details. This past week I've been not right and I finally thought I should go to the doctor. Which was a hard decision because as much as I love the doctor, sometimes we avoid them so we can't find out what we might already suspect. But I am sick of feeling sick, so off I went.
And she did what I expected....limit the diet and sent me for blood tests, one of which is for Celiac Disease, which means going gluten free. I also am going to see a GI Specialist in October. Obviously I just had the test done, but for now she suggested I go either gluten or dairy free for two weeks, and then switch if the first didn't make a difference. Since Celiac runs in the family, I'm going with the gluten first. And I'm not giving up cheese yet unless I have to :).
So we'll see what happens.....I'm already craving a cookie. I think because I can't have one. I'm going to need to find some gluten free goodies. My uncle lost a bunch of weight having to follow the diet though...that's a positive, right?
