Gluten free foods are all the rage right now.  From what research I’ve done online just from Google, I’ve heard a few different things.  One is that all people have an allergy to gluten in some form, often causing bloating and stomach pains.  I know however, one of my cousins is allergic to gluten to the point of never being able to eat it because he reacts as if stung by a bee and going into anaphylactic shock – his is slightly less severe but still scary.

I don’t know that I am allergic, I don’t know that it will help me personally.  But in case it helps my stomach from feeling too full when eating breads and pastas, I’m trying some new gluten free products. So far my results are inconclusive, but each person is different.

There are gluten free spaghetti noodles and breads at your local Safeway and Wal-mart now.  If you notice that you feel bloated, too full after a small meal, have an upset stomach, feel sluggish etc. – this may be a great idea for you.  Some gluten free products are a little more expensive, but I think it is worth it if you don’t have to deal with stomach pains and can maybe even lose a few pounds!
