I am really feeling great after a few days off dairy, which makes me feel even more certain about my decision to avoid it for the most part. That is almost how I started out being gluten-free, deciding to avoid it whenever possible. I started in January 2013, I cut my gluten down to just one serving a day. I would usually have organic bread with my sandwich or pizza sometimes, I tried to make sure that when I did eat gluten it was at least non-GMO and organic. Then sometime in March, I decided to be completely gluten-free. I was pretty rigid about it after that, except when I got home from college in may and ate a cheese calzone at my grandmother's. For about four days after eating it, I felt like I was digesting a rock. It was painful and I could feel the swelling in my digestive system. It was the worst and it was after that I decided it just wasn't worth it to cheat. Except in Greece because their wheat is different...but that's a whole other story. I think that eventually I will reach that point with diary, it may be fine once in a while but maybe there will be a day when it is just not worth it.
