Hi, I had “gluten sensitivity” for maybe the last decade. Brain fog, fatigue etc. removing gluten helped but did not fix. Then I tried the ketogenic diet and all my problems went. Infact I feel better then I have ever in my life when in a state of ketosis. Not sure of the reason - It could be I’m cutting out a certain foods.. or it’s the anti inflammatory effects of ketone bodies? Still searching for answers on why. But for now it feels like I’ve been given a second chance at life. I’d be happy to provide more details to you if your interested in trialing this path.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. If there's one thing I've learned, when researching how diet can affect myself, it's that different humans react to different food types and intake, in different ways. If a ketogenic diet works for you, the same diet may not work for others. Similarly, other types of diet may not work for you. It's for that reason I decided to vote you up again - there is no reason to downvote what you posted. One particularly enlightening book which changed my outlook on diet, raised an eyebrow, and just clicked with me, was "Eat Fat and Grow Slim", written in 1958 by Richard Mackarness, M.B.,B.S.

  1958.. The more you dig into th history of nutrition the more you realise there was two parallel tracts. The one that won public opinion (low fat/high carb) has pretty much contributed to an epidemic. Recommend the book “the big fat surprise” by Nina Teicholz on the topic.

I've wondered if a keto diet could help, but if there's a chance antibiotics could fix the problem, I'll take that instead. My gluten intolerance appeared 1 week after a serious food poisoning, which could logically point to a bacterial/parasitic origin... I also happen to have numerous food allergies, so the gastroenterologist thought "add gluten to the list". If nothing else works, maybe I'll try a keto diet, but I love sugar... I'm already gluten free (I'm french, no bread), fruit free, raw veggies free, lactose free (I'm french, no cheese), olive free (I live in Spain!)... cutting sugar would be hard ;-)

  > gluten intolerance appeared 1 week A key fact! This type of information could really help a dietician assist finding a solution if you run out of avenues yourself. I said the same about loving sugar but funny enough the cravings / desire simply goes away once your body adapts to a new energy source (which is not glucose anymore). Having just recently been to Spain, the hardest part is eating out and missing out on all the great tapas!
