Q. I started a gluten free diet three days ago. When should I notice any benefit from it ?I'd like to lose some weight and just feel better.
A. I have celiac disease. I noticed my first relief from some of my symptoms in 3 days. Other symptoms took months to go away. Improvement in general well-being and energy and weight loss happened slowly, but steadily. For some people, noticeable improvement takes a long time on the diet.
Many people gain weight once they start a gluten-free diet, because their damaged intestines weren't absorbing the food they ate, so they couldn't get the nutrition they needed no matter how much they ate.
Others lose weight, because their bodies have been telling them they are starving for nutrients, so they constantly feel the need to eat to satisfy cravings; or because gluten intolerance can throw the thyroid or hormones out of balance and cause weight gain; or simply because, by cutting out gluten, they are eating fewer calories and are eating a larger percentage of healthier, non-processed foods, like meat and vegetables instead of, say, pizza.
If you are trying this as an elimination diet, you could re-introduce gluten after 3-6 weeks and see if you react negatively to eating it.

What reasons would one have a gluten-free diet other than having celiac disease?
Q. I heard on Y! Answers of a vegan who didn't eat gluten by choice apparently (they didn't appear to suffer from celiac disease). Are there any pros/reasons that you can think of that would convince a vegan to go gluten-free if they didn't suffer from celiac disease? Are there certain health benefits or anything?
A. Some people say that eating a gluten free diet is beneficial for neurological and mental conditions like ADHD, Autism and even anxiety and depression. Some people don't eat it because they just think it's healthier not to. Personally I don't think it makes any difference if you don't have any intolerance to gluten. I've also noticed that some people think they have a gluten intolerance when it's really a blood sugar problem from eating white refined grain products (white bread, white pasta, etc) and they're fine with whole grains.
What are the benefits of a gluten free diet?
Q. This question is for people who have ever tried the gluten free diet or considering a gluten-free diet. Have you felt different ever since you started the gluten free diet? What does it prevent tell me all the benefits. Also if i do a gluten free diet what can and cannot eat. Please give me gluten free diet cons and pros, Thank you for answering my question.
A. I started a low-gluten/gluten free diet when I got serious about my fitness.
I feel lighter after meals and more able to exercise. Plus my muscle/fat ratio is continually improving. Many people are intolerant to some extent without realising it and many digestive issues can be solved by butting gluten out of the diet.
Plus, while a gluten-restrictive diet is not necessarily calorie restricted, the fact that more of your calories come from protein and the fact many snacks are off-limits often translates to a lower-calorie diet, which has obvious benefits for weight loss.
I wouldn't personally recommend Atkins as a diet plan. I understand using it to lose weight in the short term but I think the macro-nutrient profile of the diet is less than beneficial in the long term. As an alternative I would recommend looking at the Paleo or Primal diet. It's based around fruits, lean meats, root vegetables and so forth. I've been doing that but including dairy products and have seen great results.
Stuff that contains gluten includes bread, pasta, rice and most empty/bulk carbs. After a while, you'll get used to checking food labels to see if stuff is gluten free.
Good luck!
