Deana, you mean all that white rice flour frozen pizza crust isn’t good for me? Dang it. I like the term Righteous Processed Foods. NICE. And my dairy actually came first. I have congenital lactasis. Couldn’t even have breast milk!

I’m a recent gluten-free gal, as well. I got the complete GI work-up from Diagnos-techs b/c I had no idea what was up–parasites? dairy intolerance? ulcer?–and it tests for everything but ebola. I came up seriously gluten intolerant with very little in the way of good flora in my gut. I’m reading “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” by Natasha Campbell McBride–terrific book. A lot of it is dedicated to how a leaky gut can lead to things like Autism, ADD, and schizophrenia (none of which are issues for me) but it has great info on gut health and healing. Seconding “Nourishing Traditions” as well. Often if you go GF, you will be able to add dairy back to your diet before long. Many cases of dairy intolerance are due to a gluten intolerance.
Big Note: A mistake a lot of people make when they go GF–oh, me for example–is to replace all those processed wheat foods with processed GF foods: rice pasta, GF cookies, new baking mixes, etc. Your gut needs to heal and to do that you need to avoid even the righteous processed foods and sugars.
