Maybe I'm just a tard or something, but I prefer saying "lifestyle" just because that IS how I live my life and it IS for life... Oh well, guess I'm just a "hipster", eh? :P

You do have pink hair (which I love!)...so you are cooler than me! :D

It is a lifestyle and a diet - all in one!

Hahaha! I thought I was the only person lurking around here who throws around the word tard. I repress the urge so hard here, but I'm a gamer at heart and it is just second nature to think it. I wouldn't call you that though for calling it a lifestyle. :P

I agree with Karen that the pink hair is pretty great! Nothing wrong with being a hipster as long as you are cool with it. :D

Blame Oxhorn. Seriously, I think that man may be single handedly responsible for bringing beards, big, burly, manly beards, back in style. Frankly though... bring it on. I kinda like it. ;)

My hubs has a beard and he is very cool and handsome and also following the GLUTEN FREE diet!! (see how skillfully I steer this puppy back on topic)

We western Canadians have always been for beards, flannel shirts and grunge... we just call it redneck!

... The mullet never died, it just went to live in rural Canada. ;)

Off topic... not skillfully done. :)

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
