You're right Allie, I think I'm just going to focus on eating healthier in general, not worry about gf too much yet and give it some time. Then if I feel I need to I'll try going GF again.

omg - love that advice. I WANT A DONUT... arrgggh ;)

your body may just be adjusting to your diet, I might give it a little more time? THEN try like 3 or 4 weeks gluten free (with NO cheating) and see how you feel then?

I know you don't want to keep going through this testing phase --- that's sort of why I think you should give this some more time ;)

I also have had intermittent skin issues that, while going off of gluten helped, have been pretty persistent. But that type of thing has so many possible causes it's almost not worth trying to figure it out.

I had seasonal allergy testing done for the first time last week, and was somewhat humbled by the number and severity of the allergies I have to things I'll never be able to avoid -- trees, weeds, etc. I had my first shot today, and developed a small itchy spot at one of the injection sites. The first shot is something like 20 parts per 100 million of the allergens -- practically nothing. But my immune system picked it up nonetheless, which is both impressive and depressing -- short of living in space it seems complete avoidance of allergens isn't really an option -- just put some hydrocortizone on it and go have a donut. We celiacs won't judge you.
