Nobody is that stupid. If you want to lose weight, exercise and stop eating crap.

I have - it's helped me enormously. I did as part of an elimination diet along with dairy. I have the odd gluten based product and def. feel the effects of it after.

Unless you have an intolerance, why would you want give up gluten? I'm on a wheat free diet which us similar. Eating out is a pain.

Had a Chinese meal last night..think my body didn't like as had pains all day and felt quite poorly. So best I cut that out now. Gluten is high in Chinese I realise. And I had dairy ice cream so that prob finished me off.

Studies have shown that going gluten-free when not a celiac doesn't nothing for your health.

Perhaps you just ate too much Chinese food and ice cream?

There really is no point in cutting stuff out unless you're actually, genuinely intolerant of it.

I really don't understand why people bother cutting it out unless you have an intolerance? If you're trying to improve your health and wellbeing: exercise and more vegetables.

ASAP science did a video showing why there's no point in cutting out gluten unless you have intolerance to it.

Maybe you're intolerant but just not celiac? I was having some problems and my doctor suggested that I cut gluten out and see if I felt and improvement, and I did.

If you're not intolerant there are no benefits to a gluten free diet, really.

I'm being tested at the minute.. But I have a focus of my other health condition of CFS/ME! I've suffered great IBS like symptoms for as long as I can remember. I feel slightly better tbh re cutting the two dietary things out.
