Holy Wow. I have spent the morning researching information on the internet in regards to going gluten free! I feel like I have landed in Oz and am leaving the yellow brick road! I have so many questions and a need to understand what I am embarking on. "Oz"  (getting healthy) is hard enough to comprehend without adding to it all of the information out there on glutens. 

I understand the familiarity of a basic diet which includes wheat. However, after many years of inflammatory health issues, I have been encouraged to take a look at what I am consuming. The information out there varies to such a degree it has me stumped! One website has your basic information on gluten free and avoiding wheat, oat and other problem causing grains. Another website claims even the proteins found in corn, rice, and other usually acceptable grains is problematic not to mention any animal which is grain fed (this eliminates any animal who is not grass fed and effects dairy consumption as well). Makes one wonder what one would eat. 

I think I make things too difficult for myself. There is wisdom in simplicity but why is it hard to find it? I am going to try the basic gluten free diet. If I do not get the results I am looking for I will then try eliminating other possible suspects. 

Have you gone gluten free? If so, share your comments, ideas, favorite recipes,  websites, books and any other information you have found helpful in the comment box below!
