I just did my first day gluten free!

I just finished my pre-blood test gluten challenge, which was rough. Still waiting for the results.

I still had symptoms cause it takes a while for the body to recover but I was really happy that I didn't feel like puking after eating today.

I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, and chicken fingers (from M&M meats), tater tots, and veggies for supper. Also two gluten free oreos at some point in the day. Double stuffed. They are good.

The M&M Meats chicken fingers were a pleasant surprise. I did them in the air fryer and they had a nice taste and texture. And they have the Celiac Canada badge so that is great for if my sensitivity is from celiac.

I just wanted to share since I don't have a lot of people in my life to share this with.

I know some days it's going to hit hard that I can't eat my favourite foods anymore but for the first day in, this was a good start.

How did you guys feel about your first day of going gluten free?

Hey all!

I am currently doing a gluten challenge before getting a blood test to see if I have celiac disease. I was not gluten free before this trial but I was kind of avoiding it. A month prior I did the fodmap elimination diet to find out what was triggering my symptoms. So like fodmap for a couple months, then a month of regular(ish)diet, and now all the gluten. My doctor decided we would do the gluten challenge for 4 or 5 weeks just to make sure if there is any chance of antibodies, they have a chance to show up in the blood work.

My symptoms are just getting worse and worse as the challenge goes. I only have 4 days left so I am sticking with it.

But I am curious who has had a similar experience and if you ended up having celiac or non Celiac sensitivity?

Thanks all! Have a good day :)
