Responses to GF diet

blonde1 · Oct 5, 2007

My daughter and I still do not know if we have CF (but going through DX process)- however, we've been living for a year as "celiacs" thinking we had celiac disease. This is in part due to the fact that some of our symptoms improved (slightly) with a gluten-free diet. For example, our stomachs felt slightly better, we went longer times without upset stomachs, and I had less "funk" in my throat to constantly swallow and cough. The change was small, of course, but notable enough that I thought we'd found our magic bullet, at first...only for things to never improve as much as they should.
Has anyone else ever had a positive reaction to a GF or dairy-free diet? Any improvement is a good improvement! What do you guys think?

My daughter was just cleared of the possibility of Celiac's, so i've done some research. What I found is that the GF diet makes most people feel somewhat better -- our bodies really weren't intended to consume large quantities of highly processed wheats. But that those with Celiac's would have such a major difference and see terrible episodes if they did consume gluten. I'm thinking of moving my whole family to a modified GF diet just for health reasons.
