I have known for a while that something wasn't totally agreeing with my body. I just didn't know what it was. A few months ago I read an article that outlined a few if the symptoms of gluten intolerance. I had quite a few of those symptoms. Dang it! Ha. None of them were so bad that I felt I needed to cut if our immediately or completely. However, I did know I should probably work on it.
Since we decided to do game on again I figured now would be a good opportunity to also try gluten free. I would always just have rice or fruit for my carbs instead of tortillas and sandwich thins. It really hasn't been bad. I have eaten lots of gluten in my free days - because hello! All the good foods (brownies) have gluten. Ha.
I haven't really paid close attention to my symptoms though. But today a friend blogged about some bumps on the backs of her arms. Something like that was on the list of symptoms I'd read a while back. I have basically had them for as long as I can remember. But guess what! They are pretty much gone! I was so shocked. I really can't tell you a time in my life I can ever remember not having those dang bumps. I always blamed it on dry skin (I suck at putting lotion on regularly). But I haven't changed anything about my routine. The only real thing I've changed is my diet.
So maybe there is something to this whole gluten free fad. Crazy. Ha.

If the bumps are gone, then I would think it *must* be gluten related! That's great that you've made some healthy improvements :) as for me, I've never had any intolerance to gluten, and I know that KP runs in my family. so I think I'm stuck with it...dang, haha. But I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has to deal with dang annoying arms bumps! :)
I have been Gluten Free for about 14 years now....there actually some really good recipes for brownies, cake as well as pizza crust. It's not as bad as you think! I actually prefer gluten free food to gluten-ized food.
