Check-up

For my own records before I forget (and for anyone who might actually be interested), these are observations about how I feel three months into the GF diet:

Digestive

• Going #2 twice a day without needing to ingest copious amounts of fibre. As opposed to once every few days before.
• Able to digest multi-vitamins containing iron.
• Gas emissions have been lowered from constant to almost non-existent. I'm like an electric car. It's amazing I still have friends considering how farty I have been the last 25 years.

Reproductive

• Cycles have become shorter and more predictable, and all ovulatory so far. The one before GF was anovulatory.
• No more patches of EWCM that do not correspond to ovulation.

Other

• Clear skin except when consuming dairy (note to self - stop consuming dairy).
• Hands and feet not cold anymore.
• Fewer back spasms/pain.
• Consistent energy throughout the day.
• Require less sleep to feel rested.
• Fewer sugar cravings (though I still enjoy my chocolate on occasion).

Still Problematic

• Dry, itchy skin and scalp.
• Sperm has not met egg.
