I feel almost the same. I didn't have any problems with gas before I
started the GF diet, but was pretty bloated and icky feeling. Could it
be possible some of this is also due to better blood sugar regulation?
I know that wheat flour is the hardest on ones blood sugar.

Yeah, I think I did a gluten challenge last night. I ate pizza. You
know, it didn't even taste all that wonderful. Kind of strange. And of
course today I'm bloated and whatnot. I'm convinced that I can't tolerate
wheat and/or gluten any longer. No more pizza...no more picking crutons
off my salad.
I love this list.
