On the verge of a hysterectomy, she instead followed her OBGyn’s last-chance suggestion to eliminate gluten, despite the fact that her blood test and endoscopy had come back negative for celiac disease. When she explains to others all the things that she can eat, they’re often surprised at how normal her diet can be. Sushi, Asian food, Indian food, Mexican food and other ethnic cuisines are often gluten-free naturally. It’s important to always ask at restaurants and to read labels, but the list of approved ingredients and entrees is encouraging for those who think their culinary experiences will be severely limited. Additionally, a larger selection of gluten-free foods means that anyone can eliminate the ingredient from their diet for a trial basis. If you think you might be sensitive to gluten and even if you have had a negative result on blood tests for celiac, try removing gluten from your diet for a couple weeks. You might be surprised how you feel. People often report that their GI problems go away, they have more energy and feel clear-headed. Sometimes other health issues subside. If after your gluten-free fortnight all you feel is withdrawal from your favorite breakfast entrée, you can go on your merry way knowing you’re not one of the millions of people with this problem.u Stacey Closser is a Salt Lake City-based freelance writer who specializes in business, health and lifestyle topics.
