Many have heard about the pros and cons of a gluten-free eating style. I began on this journey back in July or August of 2010. I had recurring fatigue and exhaustion due to Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome. I was looking for relief and the most obvious place to start was my diet. While I have never eaten bad or horrible there is always room for improvement and my diet was certainly lacking in regards to my special concerns. Researching a gluten-free diet I went to one of the most reliable food/diet websites there is, www.mercola.com. On Dr. Mercolas' website, I was able to find information that indicated that wether you had celiac disease or not you should, for the most part, stay away from gluten. According to this article, (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/02/24/wheat-headaches.aspx) people with many symptoms including headaches were greatly reduced or eliminated by removing gluten. Being gluten-free (or mostly, sometimes I fall off the bandwagon!) has given me more energy, better sleep (not having to sleep as much), less stressed, and reduced many other symptoms of my adrenal fatigue. I cannot stress the importance of at least trying a gluten-free diet. Gluten has also been shown to have inflammatory qualities and thus inflames joints and other hot spots in the body. It's a hard plan to implement but if you do so with conviction and a mind to succeed, you can't fail. "Fail to plan, plan to fail!"
