I have been given blood tests for celiac three times, all negative, tho I was gluten free for the last two. There is false neg with these tests I know. My old dr requested I do a gluten free diet to see what happenes, I did for about 8 months. Now I am sure I was not 100% gluten free despite my effort. After seeing my new dr about my symptoms and many many tests later, he wants me to go gluten free again, he's convinced that is the problem. He said he want me to follow it very carefully for at least a year. I'm also lactose intolerant, and I cheat and have dairy, he said no more of that either.

Last time I went off gluten I had a lot of issues with my mood especially in the beginning, I think I was going through withdrawal from the gluten. I remember being very emotional, very very moody. I know I read that gluten and casein react with the opiate receptors thus making withdrawal difficult. Any one else eating gluten free,or have done so? I'm really not looking forward to this.

I'm not sure when I will start, I need to get my kitchen clean and de- glutened. My mood has been a bit up and down, not too bad, but I'm a bit worried about rocking the boat. Not exactly looking forward to spending all the money I do have on food either as gf food isn't exactly cheap. And I hate cooking.... This just is going to suck I can see that.

If any of you have been gf, I would seriously love any tips tricks, anything at all that could make this transition easier.

I think I'm already going through withdrawal just from thing about it, I already feelz sad I hate being sick every day, but gluten is in da happy foodz.
