    So are doing this for health reasons or cosmetic reasons?

    Giving up gluten is hard. If you dont need to, dont bother. If you had a gluten intolerance, you'd know about it. It feels like you're being stabbed in the guts. Before you make such a radical change in diet, I'd contact an allergy specialist, a doctor who knows what they're talking about. If you have celiac, for example, which is a serious autoimmune disease, gluten can damage your gut so much you become seriously ill. To test for it, you need to be eating gluten so a biopsy can find the danaged lining. If you stop before being tested, you cant get a diagnosis and therefore work out a health plan.

    By all means, eat what ever you want and for whatever reasons you want. Just know there are possible long term health repercussions.

    I make my own grain free cereal that doesn't have any of that stuff in it - I can give you the link if you want. I eat it with yoghurt, but you could eat it with coconut cream (or make your own yoghurt from coconut milk) or buy coyo (coconut yoghurt from health food shops)
