If you are allergic to gluten or have celiac disease, then you have your answer. But if you’re curious about a gluten-free lifestyle and just want to experiment to see how good you would feel without gluten – GO FOR IT.
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.
Good to know that works too! I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
