Hi Parsons,
I went wheat/ gluten free a couple of years ago. I have more energy now than I recall having the first 40 years of my life. I did not have stomach symptoms per se, my symptoms manifested as joint achiness and overall malaise, anemia.
I tried pasta couple of weeks ago, had a reaction. I definitely miss pasta, bread and cookies. There are alternatives, but they are not very good.
I find things made with almond or coconut flour are more satisfying than other flours. The texture is different, denser, but it is filling and high in protein. I have a recipe for coconut flour chocolate chip cookies on my iPad that I want to make. My yoga teacher made them, they were delicious!
Good luck! It is a lifestyle adjustment, but the pay off in health is worth it.
