Any Gluten Free members?

I was told by my doctor(gastroenterologist) to switch to a gluten free/dairy free diet due to ongoing health problems.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective.

I'm not Gluten free, but I go through phases of going on a "no flour no sugar" diet - which is pretty similar.

I recently went gluten free after mostly avoiding it for a while. I also don't eat much dairy on account of mild lactose intolerance. Honestly I can't believe how good I feel. I think part of it was recently realizing that maybe it was gluten and not other ingredients I blamed (cheese, syrup, various other ones) for why I felt terrible. Health problems that I always assumed were related to being fat have gone away or greatly reduced including acid reflux and joint stiffness which I believe was the beginning stages of arthritis, constipation/diarrhea, and maybe some others I am forgetting. I still use a bit of dairy in baking, but rarely have it straight. I would google gluten free vegan baking/recipes. Also check out Coconut Bliss which is basically ice cream made with coconut milk, I won't lie and say it is as good as ice cream, but it is pretty good. Also beware of gluten in places you wouldn't assume like condiments (bbq sauce and soy sauce for example).

Oh crap. I totally forgot that you said you had to cut out dairy as well.
