How long...

[JosephG]

Here's a hypothetical situation: Say I am a person who's just discovered they are suffering from a gluten allergy/sensitivity and I decided to completely cut out all forms of gluten and wheat out of my diet - How long would it take for me to completely feel the positive effects of removing the allergen from my diet?

Give it a month to be sure.

It took me about 4 months

 

[mmmm]

I'm trying to cut it out because it aggravates my fibro. I just feel so flat and lifeless and I've ended up replacing it with too sweet coffee, which is baaaaddd

^ This for me too.

Although even after two weeks of cutting out wheat after being diagnosed, I started to feel some of the effects.

thank you for your responses
I am starting to think that it is a real possibility I have a gluten allergy. I'm going to get some allergy tests done soon to see.

^ Sounds like a good plan. What type of testing are you planning to do? I actually was diagnosed twice by a homeopathic type doctor. They use a totally different method, known as Bioset. It seems completely crazy at first (I really didn't believe it either, even after the "diagnosis"), but it is 100% accurate I can assure you.

I was thinking about asking my GP for blood tests. I think they test immunoglobin or something? I think that may be the only "free" option on the NHS though so it's probably all I'm going to do. Bioset sounds interesting - I will ask my doctor about it and the different tests you can do.

^ I'm not exactly sure what they test during blood tests as I have never had it done, but you're probably right. Bioset is a very interesting procedure. Here's a pretty good webpage explaining it. >>> Absolute Holistic Medicine
