Hi guys, just found this thread. I have been feeling really average this year with symptoms of severe bloating, nausea, extreme tiredeness, stomach pains, indigestion, bowel changes, joint pain and more than a little stressed! My usual GP has basically ignored it so saw a new GP recently and she mentioned it sounds like a gluten intolerance. She has suggested I eat only gluten-free foods for two weeks to see if there is a difference (this is day 3).

I was wondering, do you think she should have done some testing, rather than just have me cut gluten out for two weeks? I would have thought tests would have given me a more specific answer.

And how long do you think it should take for me to notice a difference? This is only day 3 of eating no gluten and I can't say I've noticed a big change yet, still feel pretty crap actually!

Happy for any advice!

Thanks,
Marg
