> As far as typical reaction times go, GI disorder can set in anything from instantly, to 24 hours later, and the effects on my mood, and skin, etc have lead time of anything from 24-100 hours, and a recovery time of as much as three weeks. That's wild. How on Earth did you zero in on your issue? Was it a case of "literally nothing else would explain things, so I may as well get this blood test"? And what do you eat on a typical day?

I can tell within minutes when I've eaten something that contains gluten. The more unpleasant effects happen later, but I feel different almost immediately. In my case, a friend just offhandedly suggested to me one day that I should try cutting gluten from my diet and I was 'cured' within 48 hours of taking her advice.

Meat, rice, fish and salad (without dressing… vinegar and dairy based are pretty much all you find anywhere; I eat a lot of olive oils and citrus juice) Nothing indian (all creamy, milky), very few asian recipes (i.e no sushi, I'm intolerant of the green stuff they roll it in), anything with coconut milk is a decent start. Most "egg replacement" for baking contains stuff that I just can't eat, so anything baked is out of the question. I was fortunate when I moved to Germany, my company's recommended doctor was the only one I could find who spoke english, and he was a sports physiotherapy specialist with a side training in homeopathy; for all that I believe it's quack science, the holistic approach to "maybe you have bad skin because there's something wrong somewhere else" was a valuable insight. My health insurance paid the first €200 in blood testing (€50 basic panel, 150 wide panel), having established that there's no "cure", they won't insure the condition any further, but that's OK.
