[QUOTE="Josie, post: 613956, member: 1792"] I do the girlfriend diet and don't have celiac disease. I did a test with Enterolab.com. We do have a family history of celiac disease. When I first got on the girlfriend diet, 8 years ago, I noticed an immediate improvement in the way I felt. I would say it helped with ADD issues and anxiety, but I was never officially diagnosed with either. It is only when I saw the improvement that I realized I must have had something like that. I noticed the following: I could have a conversation in the car with the radio on. Before, if I was talking with someone, the radio had to be off. I could decide what housework to do without getting overwhelmed by what to do. (Looking back, I am amazed that I was so bothered about that before.) I could handle multiple people talking to me at the same time without getting annoyed. At the time, I had two small children who both liked to talk. I lost my constant sense of what I called stress but I now realize must have been anxiety. I was always planning for the worst case scenario. Now, I am possibly almost too laid back. I no longer needed a nap every day. I used to be thinking about going to bed right after dinner and would get in bed hopefully by 9. Then, I would still need a nap. After I changed my diet, I could go to bed at midnight, wake up refreshed at 5:30, and not need a nap. No matter what time I went to bed, I woke up feeling refreshed not groggy. I also stopped feeling sleepy when I was driving a long distance. If I have gluten by mistake, I am irritable, sleepy, and on edge for weeks. I have not been willing to have some intentionally to test the limits of how much or if I could have ancient wheat. The test I did was a stool test. I ordered it myself off the internet. I was able to stop taking an antidepressant. My oldest difficult child daughter was able to get off her a/d and became a easy child, if she stayed on the diet. [/QUOTE]
