Living a Gluten Free Life

Expert Author Tim Holmes

I am Gluten intolerant and I absolutely hate it. I still do not know why I have become so poorly so soon. It seems like only yesterday that I could eat anything I liked. It is a real struggle being so dependent upon other peoples advice on this subject. There is more and more information out there now about this problem but I feel it is still not enough. I went to my doctor the other day and when I told him about all the problems I have been having he did not seem to want to know. It is very frustrating at times. i know I have not been officially diagnosed and my test results were inconclusive.this is quite common and there are many thousands of people whom have not been diagnosed but they have all the symptoms of Gluten Intolerance. I have discovered that the best thing to do is to listen to your own body, it knows what works and what does not work. My body has been getting rid of everything and anything to do with wheat and gluten. This has been going on for a number of years but it is only this last 11 months that I have started see a benefit to cutting out this food substance.

I have been finding out information by trial and error as I have come to realise that my body is rejecting certain substances with alarming speed and frequency. I have really abused my body in my early life. I would eat and eat and eat without any regard to my health at all. In fact I could eat a whole loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter in a day, every day! I do not do this now but what I am saying is that if one abuses ones body as I did then all that punishment will come back to haunt you in later life. It is all the pies and pastry and bread that I consumed as a young man that has now given me 'overload' now. I just wish that more information was around and that some clearer tests could be done.

I have to say that I have found a lot of information on the internet but I still believe one should listen to your own body and go off what it is telling you. My body gets bloated up and I get stomach cramps followed by running to the toilet six or seven times a day. I know I do not have these problems when I cut out gluten products so I know that, despite my doctors negative results, I am gluten intolerant.

Tim has been suffering from gluten intolerance and lack of real information since 2009. Tim has found a lot of very useful information on this site.... [http://glutenfree-book.com]
