Easy there kiddo, no need to get upset. I was just casually pointing out that your imagined gluten issues are likely just that, imagined.

Eating a mostly grain-free and processed food-free diet is brilliant in absolutely every way for the body. Good for you, you dropped bread and liquorice, and soy sauce, and you stopped eating out, and you stopped drinking and eating anything processed, you stopped buying canned soup and you don't eat fried food, plus, thank goodness, you make all your own salad dressing.

What do all of these foods have in common? That they aren't good for you. If I eat a Big Mac every day and one day decide "you know what, meat makes me feel bad! I'm a vegetarian now!" I'm probably going to feel a lot better, and if I was less than intelligent about my situation, I'd probably say "Not eating meat has been great for me!" while avoiding the very obvious reality at hand.

You loved bread, thus you likely ate a lot of something that's generally terrible for you. Now you eat no bread and you feel better. Good for you, but use your own ability to comprehend logic, avoid fad diet BS that pops up on the Internet for clicks, and realistically think about why you feel better.

If you think you might not be able to handle gluten, do yourself a favour and have a doctor reach up your bum and cut a little piece out of you. That way you can actually know, and not self diagnose like so many people do. The desire for people to blow off feeling bad as caused by something out of their control is strong, I know, but it's ok to just say "Hey, I was eating like crap and hurting my body, my fault, now I'm eating healthier and feeling better."

You don't have to make up a sensitivity or disease just to justify how bad you were feeling.
