I felt fantastic for the two months I was wheat free but fell back into my old bread, pasta habits. Now I feel like....you know!lol So it's back to wheat free. Thanks for the flour recommendation as the recipes in both books weren't that great using the flours they used - at least what I tried anyway. Take care - sincerely, jeannetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-10578323817948810252014-07-04T07:58:11.044-04:002014-07-04T07:58:11.044-04:00I used the process of elimination too. Years ago, ...I used the process of elimination too. Years ago, after a colonoscopy and multiple tests for Crohn's disease, I was (mis) diagnosed (in my opinion) with IBS. I reluctantly took the medication for awhile but didn't see an overall improvement. This year I did the same thing as you: realizing how good I felt on certain days and how bad I felt on others. I started looking for the common denominators. Undeniably gluten! Once I eliminated gluten, I have more energy, improvements in my skin and overall body. People are constantly remarking that I look like I've lost a lot of weight and while I have lost some, I'm just not bloated like I was. I just feel so much better!

I am thankful to have identified the issue and grateful to be feeling better.<br />Claudia My Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-17878632446681091582014-06-30T20:17:43.512-04:002014-06-30T20:17:43.512-04:00Hi Claudia: That is wonderful…not that you have to...Hi Claudia: That is wonderful…not that you have to go gluten free, but that you really know what the problem is (all tests aside.) I have had digestion issues for years and years, but totally different and very sporadic. Tests, yes, all negative. And then I'll be fine for a year or two! I really and truly think, in my case, it is stress. So that's why I do the gym 3x week, swim 30 min. every other day, and walk 2 miles every other day. They all really help. Well, you know, we all have some kind of problem, or most of us do, and we have to be thankful they are not life-threatening and/or we have come to terms with them. I applaud your proactive attitude and new wellness!!Libby https://www.blogger.com/profile/11556491482494737313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-31993322587147589502014-06-26T21:37:09.205-04:002014-06-26T21:37:09.205-04:00Hi Anonymous, thanks for your comment.

Many people question why so many are becoming gluten sensitive, and I think it must have something to do with production. That would make sense.<br />ClaudiaMy Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-46152898817040141352014-06-26T20:17:24.965-04:002014-06-26T20:17:24.965-04:00We buy gluten free food items at Aldi and Costco. ... We buy gluten free food items at Aldi and Costco. The wheat produced now in the USA is not the same as it was years and years ago and that is why so many people have become gluten sensitive. I always look for pasta made in Italy and that doesn't bother me because they have higher standards in their wheat production.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855559240091587971.post-16535680595613343532014-06-24T17:27:06.039-04:002014-06-24T17:27:06.039-04:00Hello H,

I am going to buy the flour and test it. Have you ordered anything from "enjoy life eat freely?" I am crazy about their cocoa loco bars and chocolate granola.H.noreply@blogger.com
