QUESTION: I have been having a lot of stomach and digestive issue and a friend suggested I stop gluten. I’m not sure what that means or how to do a gluten-free diet.

ANSWER: Before you eliminate gluten from your diet, I would strongly suggest that you:

1.Make an appointment with your primary care provider/MD or a specialist (gastroenterologist) and let them know you ar these issues to make sure these aren’t a symptom of a serious medical problem.

2.Keep a food diary/log for several days and try and note when your symptoms are better/worse. This information will also be helpful to your medical provider.

T 3. Taalk to your PCP/MD about getting a blood test for c disease to rule that out.
