I have been trying a veggie and gluten-free plan this week to see if I have any allergies related to gluten and if certain foods might reduce my symptoms. So far I am feeling a little less pain, but more fatigued (probably because I am eating less). I don’t have the stomach-ache I was having earlier, and do feel healthier overall. Because I still feel somewhat stuffed up in the morning, I doubt I have allergies to gluten, so grateful for that. I have also lost about 3 pounds, so my jeans don’t feel so snug.
I will continue with what I am eating for the next week, and then start adding back some gluten products. I don’t care that much for most meat, so will wait on adding meat. I also might try reducing my dairy intake.

I found that my morning stuffiness was from dairy…hated that feeling and it kept me from getting a good nights sleep too. Hope you find what works for you.
I think you are right. May also be the soy in many of the foods I am eating. Thanks for the commment.
