I've been gluten free for about 2 years. Right now Im on an Autoimmune protocol diet. Grain free dairy free sugar free egg free caffeine free legume free. This is way harder but I've managed for a couple of months. It has not been as miraculous as I had hoped but we are trying to clear up a bad Candida overgrowth. I've also been on Nystatin to try to heal my mouth. Has anyone been able to conquer the candida?

Mine helped by finding recipes I enjoyed and having patience !! Gluten free foods take more time to prepare and are a bit tricky. But knowing how to properly cook items and knowing what tastes good is key!! I’ve been gluten free for 10 years

yes I see that it’s going to take some patience so I have to work on that part lol but I’m willing to try and get it done. What are some of your favorite meals?

I'm mostly gluten free because wheat triggers my IBS. It was hard at first but, keeping your diet as close to "normal" is what helped me. I went through a lot of trial and error folding gluten free breads, desserts, ECT that I liked vs what I didn't like. Fortunately now there's lots of options, many come close to their gluten containing counterparts

thanks for the advice… thats kinda where I’m starting I believe.. I love fried rice and broccoli so I had to make sure I found a gluten free soy sauce.. and im glad I didn’t but I haven’t tried it yet lol I also found gluten free bread but I didn’t know I had to keep it frozen but that’s okay.. im starting small so I can do it I guess it just takes time.. at first I was trying to rush everything but I think taking my time may help. How long did it take you to fully transition to everything being gluten free? How do you manage eating out at restaurants etc?
