My doctor told me to. Been wheat-free for 4 months, and feeling much better. Also, caffeine-free.

  Also, I'm french, and the bread from Udi's is awesome. (http://udisglutenfree.com/ http://udisglutenfree.com/)

    Udi's is so much lighter and tastier than all other gluten-free breads, I suspect black magic. Also, best gluten-free pastas anywhere in my experience: Ancient Harvest Quinoa/Corn Pastas (http://www.quinoa.net/145/163.html http://www.quinoa.net/145/163.html, sold at Amazon, Whole Foods, etc.) Amazing mac & cheese, amazing spaghetti.

    You should try it. Headaches last a week, then it's all good. I sleep much, much better, and my mood is better. Plus, I drink no sodas, tea, or coffee, so I am saving several dollars per day. It adds up.

  ...so you have no idea whether it's from cutting out caffeine or gluten. Great way to not understand your body! Try going on a seitan rich diet for a week (it's basically pure gluten made to taste like meat, and actually tastes quite good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)) - if you actually feel any worse (more than the nocebo effect), then you might really have a gluten problem. If you feel better, then the problem was most likely the coffee (or some other ingredient of the gluten containing foods you were eating, in which case you better of on no-gluten, so you'll need a further experiment to clarify this). Experimenting on your body is cool, trust me (yeah, it's boring compared to doing it with some hard drugs or psychedelics, buy still sciency and fun :) )

    No, because I went off caffeine completely from 2005 to 2008, without altering my gluten diet at all.
