Q. I have a gluten sensitivity. I just started going gluten free a week ago but I still get stomach pain and I'm still running to the bathroom. How long does the diet take to workk?
A. Well I'm not sure if you are hoping to lose weight or if you are just looking to resolve some stomic issues but here was my experience:
I was constantly running to the bathroom for about two or three weeks after I started.
If weight loss is your goal then I do have some good news (but this is really only if you truely are gluten intollerant) after the first 3 weeks of no exercise what so ever I lost 12 pounds. At that point I got really excited and started hitting the gym and now I am 6 weeks into my diet and have lost 21 pounds after putting on about 5 pounds of muscle and my body has changed dramatically. I always thought I was genetically fat but it turns out gluten intollerance runs in my family and I got on the diet after seeing the results of my other family members who did the same.
All of these results are with zero time in the gym or doing any sort of cardio
My aunt who first started the diet has lost 37 pounds in the 7 months she has done it (she was relatively thin to begin with.
My mom and another one of my aunts started it at the same time and one lost 29 in 5 months while my mom lost 51 (my mom was the heaviest)
My uncle started it 4 months ago and he has lost 35 pounds.
The really amazing thing is that with the exception of myself all the people I listed are in their late 40's or early 50's (I'm 21) and have always struggled with being overweight or even obese. If you havent visited a professional about the diet then I suggest you do so because there are many other factors that may contribute. For example My mom, my aunt, and I all have B12 defficency and are also unable to process red meat while my uncle discovered he is allergic to quite a few fruits. Hope this was helpful in some way i kinda rambles lol

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!
