Thankfully I don't seem to have any bad effects from dairy.

My family Dr. told diagnosed me as gluten intolerant. After a year of misery of trying to cook and eat without gluten, I went to a specialist and had the test and I wasn't intolerant to gluten at all. I was lactose intolerant. Now I take a pill and enjoy the diary.

WE don't use much flour at all anymore. Have cut back on carbs and sweets (candy, cookies, cakes). Noticing the difference. Hubs doesn't care for pancakes or French toast. Once in awhile though I'll do my own version of biscuits and gravy. I will fix myself a couple pieces of French toast with dark wheat bread and make sausage gravy. Put that on top of the French toast. Very good.

LOL I meant dairy of course. I noticed a lot of gluten free flours at the stores now. I use to use rice crackers instead of bread for sandwiches.

The specialist I was seeing said the test was very involved and included a skin biopsy for a certain type of gluten intolerance. Also he said I couldn't cut out gluten until a diagnosis was determine. No gluten in my body made the test results useless. If I'm lucky (my words) a blood test can determine Celiac Disease. After extensive testing no gluten intolerance was detected. He said I could be non-celiac gluten sensitive. It was up to me to have a gluten free diet or not. He said most gave it up after a period of time as it was very limiting and hard to follow if no medical reason to do so. Those with a medical reason cannot tolerate even a spoon that has been near wheat. Changed my mine about my gluten intolerance.
