SHOULD I TRY TO GO GLUTEN-FREE?

Going gluten-free is not always easy, but if you start with some of your favorites and make some simple swaps then making the switch can be simple to go gluten-free with ease.

Recent research and many doctors claim that there are multiple benefits to going gluten–free, including anti-inflammation, weight-loss, a decreased risk of heart disease, and more energy.   

Experiment with cutting out gluten and even gluten-containing products, and see how you feel. You may be amazed at how fabulous, free, and ready to run a marathon you end up feeling! You will see excess bloat, weight, and brain fog go away.   

Let me share one secret with you:  Do a gluten experiment!  Eliminate gluten-containing foods from your diet for the next few days, then pick one and reintroduce it.  Notice how you feel, if you experience fatigue, belly bloating, puffy face, and/or lethargy after eating gluten, then just know that you may have a sensitivity and gluten may not work well for your unique body.
