I"ve never been tested for a gluten allergy, but decided to try reducing my intake on the advice of my sister, who has many allergies. Within days I felt more energetic and my headaches, which plagued me, disappeared. Sinus congestion cleared up. I try to keep my intake at a minimum, but still have an occasional fast-food burger. I've found that my gluten reaction is much stronger when I eat whole wheat, so I try to stick to white or sourdough breads if I'm going off the wagon.
I sometimes get a gluten reaction to processed meats, such as turkey-based burger patties or cheap hot dogs.
My wife cooks with spelt flour and pasta to replace the wheat-based stuff.
guitarist, I wonder if the reduced reaction to the donut holes made with the gluten-free flour had to do with a lower glycemic index flour, which would mean a slower uptick in blood sugar.
