Advice & Tips
The gluten free diet, if you want convenience is VERY expensive and/or time consuming. I often get glutened by well meaning friends and associates who make food for me, or from lazy store attendants who may not understand that a gluten attack can really ruin an otherwise good day.
It is important however, to maintain adherence -- so please dont be like me and cheat, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!
Going gluten free seems to have entirely eliminated my ankle pain. It was mostly an inflammatory type pain, and wheat is an inflammatory. It used to feel like I was walking on broken ankles. :(

Advice & Tips
The gluten free diet definitely made a difference in IBS with decreased bloating, gas... Due to finances (many gluten free foods are very expensive) and move to very small, rural town where products are not generally available, I have not been able to maintain this diet.
