I did get blood tested for gluten antibodies (four different tests) and the numbers came back way way negative. Like not even borderline.
I'm inclined to buy that because everything I've read about celiac, and the reports of friends who suffer from it indicate somewhat different symptoms than what I'm experiencing. I know everybody is different, but just as an example I seem to have zero lower gut distress.
One of things I've found interesting is that I've been eating dairy products like crazy this week (I did mention that my diet's been crap) and my tolerance is way higher than normal. I'm wondering if that's because I'm not combining two things my system doesn't like.
So anyway, I am definitely trying all those suggestions - I have samples of all those flours. I have some gluten that I'm going to play with adding as well to see if I react differently.
I'll definitely check out that book. This process is going to take months. Easting out should be an experiment. (On the plus side, as of Monday I'll be eating rice.)
