Suggestions about starting gluten free diet

[Moogle33]

I'm going to try a gluten free diet. I was tested negative for Celiac (biopsy and two blood tests). But what the heck, I'm feeling proactive this week.

Questions to anyone who has tried a GF diet:

Did you do it with low fiber/low fat meals?

How long did you do it to notice improvement in your condition (if any)?

Thanks.

When I went gluten free I didn't change anything else. We didn't know I had crohns then but even now I just stick to gluten free and reduce fruit and veg when I'm flaring. It can seem really daunting when you first start but after a while it's second nature. You might want to consider vitamin tablets to subsidize your diet.

It took me about 2-3 weeks to feel an improvement, I had loads more energy and a far better appetite but I was diagnosed coeliac.
