This fascinates me...
I was told that I have allergies to wheat, yeast, and corn. Do you know what kind of testing you had? Mine was something called Igg which I have since heard is unreliable. I was tested because I have fatigue and pain (in addition to depression).
I went gluten free for 6 weeks and didn't improve, but--like I said--I think I may have had an iffy test. I'd love to know how you were diagnosed.
Some gluten free tips: If you have a Whole Foods supermarket, that will help. A company called George's makes gluten free desserts which are great. I eat rice bread which is fine if I toast it twice. I like quinoa pasta. What else? There are 2 gluten free vodkas made from potatoes, if that's your thing. They're names are Chopin and Lukasowa (sp?)
Good Luck,
Lia
