yeah, it is definitely working for me too. realising that a comorbidity commonly seen with celiac is the cause of skin rashes on characteristic places (hands, feet, hip, and elbows) made me realise that cutting out sources of gluten (and plant proteins in general) has yielded great results for me.
it has also meant several important changes in my intake: wine and ciders are out, because they mostly have had gluten based fining agents to settle out the cloudiness in the drink (cloudy is better, if you can find it). a lot of foods spiced with flavorings contain substantial amounts of grain proteins in them associated with ingredients in them, maltodextrin is especially bad in terms of its effects on the kidneys and nerves (i get toothache from food with a lot of maltodextrin in it) - but maltodextrin is made from mostly corn starch, which carrries along with it a substantial amount of zein. out of all the carb foods, potato is probably the least toxic to a person with celiac.
i made the mistake yesterday of having some stout beer again, not much, but it was obvious that it caused a rash currently on my right elbow to flare up quite a lot. the less, or ideally never i consume anything made out of grains, the better.
this is also where the whole carnivore thing comes from. paleo is probably closer to the mark for what a human diet should be. some amounts of leaves and fruits and roots are ok, but seeds are out and you have to be careful with a lot of herbs, they have oils and proteins in them that can be quite problematic. also, spices, you need to be very careful with them because they can exacerbate inflammation in the intestines.
